Criticisms against "Because I Love You" actress Kim Yoo Jung refused to die down even after the artist was rushed to the hospital due to stress-induced shock.
According to Cha Tae Hyun, his co-star Kim Yoo Jung got sick again on Dec. 26, revealing that the actress usually goes through difficulty before she can recover from illnesses.
"If she has a cold, she can't take medicine and has to suffer until her condition improves," the actor said as per Soompi. He also asked the fans to support Kim Yoo Jung now that she is currently bombarded with criticisms for allegedly misbehaving.
Previous reports stated netizens were angered when the actress reportedly misbehaved during a promotional activity of "Because I Love You" movie. Many netizens slammed Kim Yoo Jung's manner on stage during the pre-screening, where the actress was seen leaning on one leg and playing with her nails.
Most of them said the young actress was being disrespectful with her posture, while some stated there was no issue at all.
On the other hand, "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" actor Bang Joong Hyuk has had enough of the issues he is hearing about Kim Yoo Kung and has finally stood up to defend the actress, Allkpop cited.
"On set, she always leaned on one leg because of leg pain. There's no need to come forward about one's physical difficulties just because she's a celebrity," he said on Instagram.
Bang Joong Hyuk continued, "If you perceive it with an unpleasant mind then it'll seem rude, and if you perceive it with understanding then it'll be pitiful. She's a hoobae that's been the most polite and sincere."
The actor added he is hurt to see Kim Joong Hyuk being attacked with hate comments, wondering why is it hard for the netizens to forgive the actress over the issue.
