He’s casted to appear as the concubine of Latil (SUZY). LSH is leaving in the middle, and interest is drawn to see who will replace the role.#하렘의남자들 pic.twitter.com/PbakPT96o5

In the comments, Lee Soo Hyuk was hit with a wave of major backlash for the decision.
Many netizens called the actor unprofessional and criticized the state of his career, saying it was bad to turn down such an anticipated K-Drama with someone like Suzy. Some even thought that this decision could impact his future prospects if the staff doesn’t find him reliable to work with.
This man stays jobless 24/7. He’s nowhere to be found in sponsored ads, variety shows, brand events, fan meetings, lead roles, cameos. No one sends him food trucks either. so I’m genuinely curious what kind of busy schedule did he have that made him turn down this offer? 😭 https://t.co/mV0IZ3NrN3

He had more than a year to leave the drama before filming began, but instead he decided to leave during production, which is going to cause problems for everyone. It’s so unprofessional. https://t.co/BRv00TQn85
