Ju Ji Hoon Speaks Out On His Revealing “The Remarried Empress” Costumes After Backlash
Actor Ju Ji Hoon has opened up about his feelings on the bold costumes in “The Remarried Empress.”
On November 11, the YouTube channel “Munmyeong Teukgeup” posted a Shorts video titled “Ju Ji Hoon costume controversy (?).”
Jae Jae brought up Ju Ji Hoon’s costumes in “The Remarried Empress,” asking, “I heard you wondered whether this was really the outfit you were wearing out.”
Ju Ji Hoon complained, “Every time I come out in the outfit they prepared, I wonder if this is possible, if it’s okay to be this see-through. Where’s the line for an emperor’s dignity? The solar plexus or the navel?” Jae Jae was shocked, saying, “It was cut all the way down to the navel,” and asked, “Sometimes it’s the solar plexus and sometimes the navel?” about the costume standard.
Ju Ji Hoon then joked, “Casual wear goes below the solar plexus. At official events, it goes above the solar plexus.”
The recently released Disney+ original “The Remarried Empress” was said to have had a production budget in the tens of billions of won (tens of millions of dollars), raising expectations before its release. Right after it came out, however, it became the center of controversy over disappointing costume and prop quality. In particular, Ju Ji Hoon’s emperor costumes drew harsh reviews such as “He looks like a trot singer” and “It looks like ‘Surprise,’” with criticism that it breaks immersion.
