A Korean drama and musical star, Jo Eun Sol, is experiencing a wave of international controversy as reported by Daum. This news comes after playing Officer Kim Seon-tae in the new Netflix series The Frog.
A suspense thriller that premiered on August 23 now tells viewers the story of a peaceful summer that a mysterious visitor interrupts and sends its heroes to a chaotic chain of events.
Jo appears in the role of Officer Kim Seon-tae, a well-meaning but stupid policeman who was manipulated by Yoo Seong-ah, played by Go Min-si.

Most of the character's unwise decisions, as well as his role in major confrontations, caused a surge of anger among viewers. They are outraged that an officer is portrayed as stupid.
According to critics, the role is built primarily on triviality. Viewer feedback from a global audience mostly discusses the lack of nuance in the portrayal of this hero. However, Jo Eun-sol himself was able to dispel the drama on this issue and earned a special rating for himself.
The public responded positively for the episode in which Officer Kim discovers a key recording instrument that completely reveals the manipulative actions of Sung-ah.
The buzz around the musical star, The Frog, continues, and after the show, Jo's skill in infusing depth into his characters, even in controversial projects, remains the center of attention in the Korean film and show industry.
The singer made his acting debut in the musical When a Man Loves in 2013 and played in films and shows like Mine and Missing 2.
