In particular, the actor was criticized for his behavior at the press conference and his tears, which they thought meant he was playing the victim and that it seemed like he was playing a role in a K-Drama rather than genuine emotion for the scale of the controversy. Some even called his tears “fake” and made references to his K-Drama Queen of Tears.
