Previously on March 22 SBS released an official statement in response to the great controversy surrounding the historical-fantasy drama series’Joseon exorcist‘.
SBS explained that the “problematic” props were “appropriate” for the scene setting, stating: “We set the location in the vicinity of Uiju County, which is close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, to emphasize the situation where the third prince, Prince Choong Nyeong, had to travel a long distance to the border instead from Crown Prince Yang Nyeong to bring back the Western Exorcist; we added subtitles to explain this. “
Since the controversy broke out, the problem has grown enormously, prompting many companies to withdraw their sponsorship of the drama. Then, on March 26, SBS announced that the drama had been canceled, after only two episodes.
Meanwhile, some international fans have started a petition on ‘change.org’ asking Netflix to bring the controversial drama to its platform. The creator of the petition claimed that the drama has been “unfairly canceled ” And that “with the right platform this the drama will be a success. “
Currently, there are 8,580 people who have signed the petition and there are several comments asking Netflix to buy the copyright to the drama. However, there are others who also oppose this request, leaving comments explaining the reason for the controversy.
