Actress Park Eun-bin asked to refrain from parodying ENA's 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', but was criticized by some netizens.

On August 24th, News 1 released an interview with Park Eun-bin, the key protagonist of ENA's 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'.

In the drama, Park Eun-bin is a genius lawyer with autism spectrum disorder, Woo Young-woo, who gradually grows up, leaving a deep impression on viewers.

As the drama gained great popularity, various videos of parodying Woo Young-woo were uploaded online, and Park Eun-bin was well aware of this.

Park Eun-bin said, "Personally, when I was playing Young-woo, I thought about it carefully and did not take it lightly, so I am cautious about wanting Woo Young-woo to exist only in the drama worldview." 

She continued, "I want to believe that you are not doing this to demean those who follow you. However, there may be reactions that are different from your own intentions. I'll tell you,".

Park Eun-bin seems to have made such remarks for fear that even if the parody people are not malicious, they are concerned that they may hurt someone.

However, some netizens reacted coldly to Park Eun-bin's remarks.

Netizens were disappointed, saying, "It's not a selective permission, and dementia can be imitated and autism can't be." 

Some people strongly criticized, saying, "It's okay to act yourself and not someone else's" and "I'm making money while acting for the disabled, but it's not for others."

On the other hand, some showed respect for Park Eun-bin's remarks, saying that people who are angry without understanding the overall context do not understand.

Meanwhile, Park Eun-bin talked about the second season of 'Woo Young-woo' with a slightly different texture from the other actors.

Park Eun-bin said, "Personally, I think it would be nice if you could leave the last ending scene of 'Pleasure' as if you were taking a picture and put it in a treasure box. I want to send it to you proudly. I think it will take a big decision.”
