At the "The Sound of a Flower" showcase on the 4th, Ryu Seung-ryong implied discrimination against women.

He started off by saying, "I don't think I've been to a set this much even when it's not my turn. The atmosphere is different when Bae Suzy's there and isn't there. The virtues of an actress is waiting, being charming and smiling. That's what brings about happiness".

This statement was broadcast on the MBC TV show "Video Journey" and is now experiencing a rear blast.

Several netizens say, "So actresses should be charming and make everyone happy?", "What bar is this?", "I don't want to watch the movie anymore" and such.

Others say, "It's just a joke", "He's just saying Bae Suzy makes everything feel better", "Everyone's overreacting" and more.
