Cha Joo Young, who recently gained worldwide attention from her new series "The Glory," has found herself in the middle of a controversy after the release of her historical K-drama "The Queen Who Crowns."

The drama was in hot water months later after an unanticipated racy sex scene was featured in its premiere episode.

Especially, Cha's topless scene has become a hot topic among viewers. Her nude scene in "The Glory" was reported to be CGI, which left some fans wondering if the latest project had used the same technique.

When "The Queen Who Crowns" was found to have achieved its topless scene through CG editing, confirmations from @style explained that it was indeed the case.

But the events leading up to the scene haveintrigued the minds of many.

Korean news outlet Munhwa Ilbo reported the K-drama lacked specifics about nudity in its script.

The report also states that actors were not made aware that the scene would be so explicit until storyboarding sessions were done days before shooting.

As this level of nudity had not been negotiated prior, the production team resorted to CG editing the nudity to a level that they believed to be necessary.

According to the media outlet, the bodies featured in the scenes are body doubles.

Cha Joo Young and her onscreen partner Lee Yi Dam shot their scenes fully clothed, and photos of the body doubles were combined with pictures of the faces of the actors in the editing room.

Brushing off these claims, the director of "The Queen Who Crowns," Kim Sang Ho, said that there was no intention of upping the nudity in the scene as far as he and the production team were concerned.

He warned about being careful in addressing the issue and confirmed it was a directive from the channel. He said, "I guess I can't directly address this."

SPOTV News reached out to representatives for the K-drama for a statement regarding these allegations, to which the representative replied that they were in the process of verifying the claims.

Still, "The Queen Who Crowns" is doing very well in the viewer ratings despite the controversy.

The fourth episode drew a 5.6% national rating, retaining the title of top program for its timeslot across both cable and general programming channels.

The show is broadcast at 8:50 PM KST on Mondays and Tuesdays on TVN, and two episodes are also released in advance on TVING every Monday at 2 PM KST.
