Lee Sung-kyung appeared on the Red Carpet of the 2023 SBS Drama Awards held at SBS Prism Tower, Mapo-gu, Seoul on December 29th.
That day, the actress flaunted her charming beauty by showing up in front of reporters in a pure white off-shoulder dress that highlighted her perfect body ratio.
As soon as she appeared, controversy arose over Lee Sung-kyung’s choice of the white dress broke out online. Since the awards ceremony was held right after the funeral of the late actor Lee Sun-kyun, almost all the actors who attended the event that day wore all-black outfits to pay tribute to the deceased.
Standing out as the only person who wore white, Lee Sung-kyung was criticized by some netizens for not showing respect to her late senior actor.
However, many others stepped forward to defend the actress, saying it was not necessary for the actress to mourn someone she didn’t know. They commented, “There are no rules saying you must wear black to mourn someone. White and gray are also acceptable”, “An awards ceremony should focus on celebrating the achievements of actors rather than becoming an occasion for people to pour criticism based on their personal opinions”, “Why are people taking this too seriously? Was he a hero?”, etc.
