Park Seo Joon's unconventional look as Prince Yan in 'The Marvels,' garnered attention online before its release next week.
On November 3rd, Marvel Studios piqued interest by introducing a new trailer.
Park Seo Joon is the third Korean actor to star in a Marvel film, following actors Soo Hyun and Ma Dong Seok. In 'The Marvels', Park Seo Joon plays the role of Prince Yan from the alien planet Aladna.
Shortly after the reveal, Korean netizens shared their thoughts about his unconventional look to convey the alien prince. Over 400 netizens commented and some of the comments were:
"Reminds me of Golden Cheese Cookie (a character from the game 'Cookie Run: Kingdom')"
"lmaooo"
"I think he looks just fine."
"Eh, at least I can tell he's Park Seo Joon so it's all good."
"Kuzco?"
"lol I don't think it's that crude. I think we're just so used to seeing him in romcom"
"At least he is in a human form."
"I honestly think it would have been better if he actually had green or blue paint on. That would have been at least iconic/memorable. This is giving nothing."
"Is he like... a moth god?"
"Giving very flamboyant oriental gay vibes."
"Idk I kinda like that crown. Giving traditional three kingdom era's golden crown aesthetic."
"I think just the overall quality of the costume is bad."
"I heard his screen time is literally 5 minutes..."
"I thought he filmed an episode of SNL."
"This is hilarious lol I must see this movie."
