At first, netizens were confused as to why the actress referred to Lee Do Hyun as her “father” until they remembered that she had played his “daughter” in the hit K-Drama 18 Again. In the series, Lee Do Hyun’s character goes back to the age of 18 and goes to school with his son and daughter, played by Ryeo Un and Jeong Eui.
Yet, another photo showcasing the bond between the actors actually sparked a debate online. Along with the adorable photobooth pictures, Roh Jeong Eui posted a photo of the ending credit scene from the movie.

After all the discussions, it meant that the comments were split. While some fans couldn’t get over how Roh Jeong Eui was still keeping the love for 18 Again alive, a lot of fans were debating about the legality of what she’d posted, with half saying it was illegal but others adding that it had no spoilers and it’s common for people to post the credit scenes, especially if they know someone in it.
| theqoo Lee Do Hyun was really funny and acted well in 18 Again. Regardless of spoilers, you normally can’t film ending credits, I want to talk about the main issue. Jeong Eui and Lee Do Hyun are still acting like father and daughter, so they still call each other dad and daughter, and Lee Do Hyun said that when he sees Jeong Eui promoting, he feels proud like a father, LOL. Movie credits also have copyrights.
Sadly, it seems like what was meant to be a cute photo showing support for her former co-star has resulted in a debate about whether her actions were illegal or not.
