JAKARTA - Park Seo Joon drew controversy after his video went viral on social media. Recently he was said to have disrespect for fan prizes amid promoting his latest film, Concrete Utopia.

Through the video circulating, Park Seo Joon and several other players are promoting in a number of cinemas in South Korea. They greeted the audience and had quizze sessions and so on.

One fan gave a bando to actress Park Bo Young. The two bands were given to Bo Young and Park Seo Joon because they played a married couple in the film Concrete Utopia.

Park Bo Young was seen wearing the bando, and when he handed over another bando to Park Seo Joon, the actor seemed to point his hair and refused. As a result, the bando was held by Park Bo Young until the event was over.

This short video makes the public think that Park Seo Joon does not respect and be rude to Park Bo Young. Not a few suggested, even though Seo Joon didn't want to wear his bando, he could hold the bando himself.

However, not a few think it is natural. Park Seo Joon is considered entitled to reject fan requests in any form. The fan who claims to be the owner of the bando also emphasized that it would be okay if Park Seo Joon did not want to wear the prize.

Today, Monday, August 7, Park Seo Joon wrote from his side through a fancafe. He also explained why he couldn't wear the bando.

"To be honest, I sweat a lot during stage greeting. Some fans like my declining hairstyle, there are also the opposite, so today I decided to make my hairstyle up to make it easier to wipe off the sweat," Park Seo Joon wrote, citing SpoTV.

I sprayed a lot of hairspray in the morning and repaired my hair so it wouldn't be easy to move. In that position, if I put anything in my hair, it would damage my scalp," he continued.

Furthermore, Park Seo Joon also thinks that the gift was given by fans to Park Bo Young so that he feels that if he wears it, it will hurt the hearts of Bo Young fans.

"This may sound like an excuse but you know I usually don't refuse like that. Many people say it's embarrassing for Park Bo Young to be holding the bando, but I don't think it's for me," Seo Joon said.

"I think it's Bo Young's gift from his fans, and if I take it, they'll be disappointed. There's a misunderstanding here," he said again.
