Amid the ongoing controversy over the alleged underage relationship between the late actors Kim Saeron and Kim Soohyun, there are concerns that the production of the Blu-ray of tvN's drama 'Queen of Tears' may be under fire.
(...)
The popularity also spilled over to OTT platforms. Released on Netflix globally, 'Queen of Tears' was the highest-viewed Hallyu drama on Netflix in the first half of last year, with 29 million cumulative views and 682.6 million hours.
'Queen of Tears' is also one of the top 10 most profitable filial content of all time among Studio Dragon's 260+ IPs. The drama's popularity also led to the OST album selling out.
Recently, the 'Queen of Tears' fandom has been spurring production by opening a Blu-ray promotion cafe. From July to August last year, the second round of pre-payments for the 'Queen of Tears: Premium Edition Blu-ray' was held, proving its popularity. The Blu-ray was reportedly sold for 297,000 won.
However, due to the recent controversies surrounding Kim Soohyun, the cafe has received many inquiries asking if they can cancel their Blu-ray purchases. The ongoing revelations by Kim Saeron's family are also affecting Kim Jiwon.
