In Lee Hyo-ri's show, Lee Yi-geng revealed the process of meeting her privately, which further attracted the attention of Korean netizens.

At that time, after chatting with Li Yigeng, she felt that he was a good person, so she asked him about ***
The actor, who played the "garbage husband" Park Min Hwan in the Korean drama "Please Marry My Husband", has constantly received criticism from netizens around the world.

This controversial role has also sparked discussions about gender stereotypes and the status of women.
Similar to this incident, similar situations have happened before. Some actors have been criticized and condemned by netizens after playing villain roles. For example, in the previous Korean drama "Sky Castle", actor Kim Kwang-kyun received a lot of negative comments for playing a role that many netizens are hostile to. These cases show that some audiences will not be able to separate the actor from the character, and it is easy to confuse the performer with the character itself, and thus develop bias or criticism of the actor in real life.
This incident had a certain impact on society. First of all, it sparked public discussion and thinking about the characterization of Korean dramas, and whether the presentation of female characters in the drama was impressive. Secondly, Li Yigeng was called the "national garbage husband" in the incident, which also highlighted the public's attention and discussion on issues such as family ethics and marriage concepts. Finally, in the incident, Li Yigeng had a positive attitude towards his role playing, and said that he felt good, which also revealed an artist's attitude towards role identification and emotional expression.
So far, there has been no update on the incident. But this incident has undoubtedly had a certain impact on the entire Korean drama industry. The relationship between actors and characters in reality has sparked reflection on cultural products and artistic performances, and has also strengthened the focus on how to deal with gender stereotypes and character portrayals in their creations.
To sum up, South Korean actor Lee Yi-geng has been criticized by netizens around the world for playing the "garbage husband" in the popular Korean drama "Please Marry My Husband", which has sparked widespread discussion. This event makes us think about the audience's identification with actors and characters, the construction of gender stereotypes, and the relationship between artistic performance and social values. The impact of this event needs to be observed and pondered, and it is hoped that such a discussion will promote the creation and expression of social issues that playwrights, actors, and audiences can focus on.
