Goo Hye Sun Defends Against Branded Shoes Accusation

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

In regards to the viewers’ criticisms on her poor girl role in “Boys Before Flowers” covering with branded goods, Goo Hye Sun has made an explanation during a recent interview and stated that “the truth isn’t as such”.

Goo Hye Sun explained : “There were recently some viewers who accused me of using branded products, which does not match with the poor living conditions of Geum Jan Di in the drama. However, the truth isn’t as such. The leather shoes that appeared in the Macau scene was bought from Dong Dae Mun. And it only costs 10 thousand Won per pair. Owing to the story’s needs, we bought two pairs.”





Shortly after the broadcast of the scene where Jan Di broke her shoes, some netizens commented on websites that Jan Di’s shoe was actually a Christian Louboutin, a French brand that costs over a million won in Korea. They proceed to criticize Goo Hye Sun and the team on their lack of consideration for these details.

Goo Hye Sun said: “Although Geum Jan Di is an ordinary girl, but she isn’t a girl from a poor family. The original manga of ‘Boys Before Flowers’ was a product of the 90s, it is adapted into a K-drama only now. Hence, discrepancies between the different eras will definitely be present. Moreover, I would discuss with the coordinators of the team everytime I received props (apparels, shoes etc) from the sponsors, to determine if they fit into the character’s personality and status.”

So was it an imitation? Strange thing that she even tried to do an explanation on this. People should know that dramas aren’t all that realistic, especially manga adaptations.

WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE?

It's a tv show. whether the stuff is name brand or not, so long as it gievs the actor the right look for the part and conveys the issue properly, it doesn't matter.

EXACTLY my thoughts here. I dont see why they bother so much about that particular because its just a drama series ^^; Oh Korea.

Why are netizens flipping a shit about this when dramas pull this kind of stuff all the time?? Discrepancies are part of the fun of dramas, i.e. "o lolz that's not possible~~" silly peeps!

Going with the flow of things, I'm sure JanDi does some 'side work' for the F4, hence her expensive apparel.
