The reason for the shock primarily revolves around an outfit deemed too revealing for an office setting. In a particular episode, Park Min Young appears in an ensemble that boldly challenges the conventional office attire norms in South Korea.

The outfit features a design that leaves her entire shoulder and collarbone exposed, deviating markedly from the traditional, conservative office wear.

This controversy around her attire comes amidst a scandal involving Park Min Young and her controversial ex-boyfriend Kang Jong Hyun.

Dispatch recently revealed that she lied about receiving money from Kang, who is accused of embezzling over ₩60.0 billion KRW (approximately $45.7 million USD) from Bithumb and its affiliates.

Evidence #100 from the trial shows Park Min Young’s bank account receiving money.

Marry My Husband has not been immune to the repercussions of this scandal. The show has witnessed a decrease in viewership, with many fans stating they would be boycotting it. The latest ratings show a dip from 7.6% in episode 4 to 7.4%. While not a drastic fall, it’s a significant trend, marking the first time the K-Drama has lost viewers.

The intertwining of her controversial wardrobe choice with the ongoing scandal has certainly impacted the public perception of both the actress and the K-Drama.
