Actor Jung Woo Sung, who drew media attention for his unexpected appearance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. It has stirred reactions from fans and attendees at the awards ceremony, which led to heated online discussions.

Jung, who was in the headlines for his first public appearance since a cheating scandal broke last week, was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos in a speech at a ceremony on Nov. 29.

Fans then flocked to social media, reacting with everything from praise for Jung's skill to disgust at how the industry treats actors.

The conduct of other attendees during Jung's portion drew notable scrutiny, in particular.

According to reports, some in the audience erupted to cheers loudly to the point where it was inappropriate. Some doubted the authenticity of the applause in light of recent shows that hung in the balance for Jung.

"I figured it was gonna come out, and the actors would do that," one user commented, expressing a somewhat conflicted sentiment about the event. Others expressed the same sentiment. For them, the actors seemed out of touch with what their audience was expecting.

They referenced actress Hyeri, with whom, under the noise, she apparently "was different." She was widely complimented for keeping her composure and professionalism throughout the event.

Another commented, "Hyeri doesn't seem like a slacker. She's strong, unlike the image the public has of her. She seemed like the only sane person."
