**CAUTION: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS A SPOILER**

Korean media recently reported that “Big Mouth” Korean drama starring Lee Jong Suk has raises concerns from the public after being allegedly offensive, and even racist at some point.

What REALLY Happened?

In Episode 2 of “Big Mouth” Korean drama, there was a scene where Park Chang Ho (Lee Jong Suk) confronted a death-row criminal. During this scene, Park Chang Ho directed an offensive question to the criminal to trigger his anger.

But that was when it all went wrong.

In the question, Park Chang Ho asked whether the criminal’s mother really ate seaweed soup after she gave birth to him. However, in the conversation, Park Chang Ho unnecessarily brought up a meal from another culture: Tom Yum Goong.

“Did your mother eat seaweed soup after giving birth to you? I’m really curious about what she ate to have given birth to a psycho like you.

 Did she eat Tom Yum Kung? Or Seonji Soup?”

For your information, most Korean mothers commonly eat seaweed soup after giving birth to honor Samsin Halmoni, the goddess who protects women and helps them through pregnancy and childbirth. You may have noticed this character in several Korean dramas, most notably in “Lovers of the Red Sky”.

A Controversy that Offends Thai Fans Due to Remarks from Lee Jong Suk Character, Park Chang Ho

During the scene in Episode 2, Park Chang Ho asked the criminal whether his mother had eaten the soup for her to give birth to a psychopath like him. However, the public raised concerns about the inclusion of Tom Yum Goong in the remark. They believed that it was unnecessary and deemed offending toward Thai culture.

A Thai fan particularly brought up the controversy on social media, asking if “Big Mouth” Korean drama did it on purpose.

“I’m not sure, but was the Kdrama Big Mouth intending to be racist to Thailand? I’m not sure if it was translated correctly. But asking ‘After giving birth to a psychopath like you, did your mother eat Tom Yum Kung?’ 

Would someone who is fluent in Korean please analyze it?”

a Thai Fan.

เราไม่แน่ใจนะคะ ว่าซีรีส์เกาหลีเรื่อง Big Mouth ตั้งใจเหยียดประเทศไทยไหม เพราะเราไม่ชัวร์ว่าเขาแปลถูกไหม แต่การบอกว่าพอคลอดไอ่โรคจิตแบบแกแล้วแม่มึงกินต้มยำกุ้งเหรอ คือจะสื่ออะไร รบกวนคนเก่งเกาหลีช่วยวิเคราะห์หน่อยค่ะ pic.twitter.com/caUgQUsGtR

This issue immediately circulated on forums and social media and fans began raising concerns about the remark. 

Indeed, there is also an assumption that with the addition of Seonji Soup at the end of the sentence, the writer might want to refer to spicy food for the context. However, bringing foreign culture into the context was deemed offensive and unnecessary, no matter the intention.
