@kchartsmaster@_IUofficial@BTS_twt If this was released at 6pm KST, it might surpass Eight or even Celebrity!!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ She is the korea music industry!!!!
Here is the summary of what the Korean General Public (GP) is arguing in those comments, categorized by their main points of defense:
1. It Was Accurate Research, Just a Clash with Modern Pride
They followed real records: The GP points out that the 9-tasseled crown (Guryu-myeonryugwan) and the chant "Cheonse" (Live for a thousand years) are factually accurate protocols for a Joseon Dynasty King. In fact, the Seoul Metropolitan Government uses these exact elements in official historical reenactments today.
A narrative disconnect, not a "distortion": The issue arose because the production team brought strict Joseon-era royal protocols directly into a 21st-century modern setting. It created an awkward clash with modern public sentiment, but it was absolutely not an attempt to portray Korea as a Chinese vassal state (the "Northeast Project").
2. The Logic of the Alternate Universe (AU)
Itโs a Kingdom, not an Empire: The drama is explicitly set in a fictional, modern "Republic of Korea" where the Joseon line survived directly into the present day without ever transitioning into the short-lived Korean Empire.
Consistent world-building: Because the setting is a "Royal Court" and not an "Imperial Court," the ruler is a King and his son is a Crown Prince (Seja). Commenters argue it is absurd to attack the King for wearing a Kingโs 9-tasseled crown when the show never claimed he was an Emperor.
Zero real historical figures: Unlike past controversial dramas that altered the actions of real kings, this show is a pure fantasy rom-com with entirely fabricated characters.
3. Clear Media Double Standards
The Last Empress comparison: Viewers point out that the 2018 drama The Last Empress featured an "Emperor" wearing a 9-tasseled crown (which is historically incorrect, as an Emperor should wear 12 tassels), yet nobody tried to cancel it. They argue Perfect Crown is being singled out with an unfair double standard for actually trying to stick to Joseon records.
Joseon Exorcist: The GP points out that trying to compare Perfect Crown to the canceled drama Joseon Exorcist is a completely transparent, bad-faith attempt to muddy the waters. Joseon Exorcist directly distorted and smeared actual, real-life historical figures (like King Taejong and King Sejong). By contrast, Perfect Crown is a modern romance-fantasy operating in an entirely fabricated universe where not a single real-life historical figure exists.
4. Protecting Global Success & Creative Freedom
Reviving the Hallyu Wave: Commenters note that the show is a massive global hit, with international audiences explicitly stating they are switching back to K-dramas from Chinese dramas because of it. Tearing it down domestically over a 1-minute clip actively harms South Korea's cultural prestige.
Stifling the industry: The GP warns that forcing a cancellation over a fantasy rom-com sets a toxic precedent. If creators are trapped in a box of rigid censorship, future writers and actors will completely avoid making fusion historical dramas.
Appreciation for the art: Many comments emphasize that the drama is a beautiful masterpiece. The crew traveled for eight months to showcase traditional Korean aesthetics, palaces, and culture, all wrapped around a fantastic lead romance.
5. Exposure of an Organized "Hate Campaign"
Driven by antis and politics: The public widely believes the controversy is a forced witch hunt orchestrated by anti-fans of the lead actors, critics who dislike the broadcasting network (MBC) due to political factionalism, or entities exploiting anti-China sentiment during an election season. They note that the vast majority of the loudest haters haven't even watched the show from start to finish.
