Actress Han Ji Hyun, who is part of the cast of the hit K-Drama "Penthouse," is sparking a polarized range of reactions after showing up on ZTAM's "Zzanbro" YouTube show appearing inebriated.

The episode that recently aired starred Han with her co-star Lee Min Ki, discussing their latest project, Face Me.

The segment went from light-hearted to somber when Han started drinking wine. As the episode went on, viewers noticed her excitement progressively grow. At one stage, she was filmed gushing about her looks while talking to the camera,

Later, on her Instagram, Han was full of apologies, saying, "I so overdid it with the drinking. A lot of what happened, I don't remember. Be nice while you are watching."

Reactions from fans have been a little mixed. Some praised her perceived authenticity, while others responded to her not seeming to care.

Reactions about her on social media were a mix of warm memories of her being a hardworking student and more profound comments pouring in, praising her for her on-screen charm.

"This was such a fun episode of 'Zzanbro,' I watched the whole thing. She cracked me up," one viewer commented.

Still, the feedback was not all positive. Cynics described her actions as "cringe" and "unhinged," and argued the least she could have done was "watch her booze intake when she's on a camera."

As for Han, netizens were worried about the production team choosing to air the episode with clips where Han looked too drunk without cutting it out.

One viewer even lamented, "This is gonna be sooo f**kin embarrassing for her to watch back after she sobers up!"

Here are other comments from the online community forum, theqoo.

The debate comes as South Korea has been weighing the influence of drinking shows, with critics calling for a limit to such content.

In 2023, sulbang, or drinking shows, have received renewed scrutiny and requests for responsible portrayals of drinking behaviour.
