The production company Studio N said in a statement on the 15th, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the negligence of the inspection."We are deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter and will thoroughly proceed with the replacement of the photo in question and measures to prevent recurrence." he said.
The official Disney+ account also deleted all the still cuts.
The controversy began with a still cut released at 'Disney+ Original Preview 2025' held in Hong Kong on the 13th.
It was pointed out through SNS that one of the medals worn by actor Joo Ji-hoon is similar to the German Nazi's third-grade gold medal of service.
Opinions continued that the shape and design of the iron cross were similar, leading to sensitive reactions among international fandom.
Currently, the production team is reportedly discussing whether to re-shoot the scene or delete only the props by editing.
Based on web novels and webtoons of the same name, 『Empress of Re-marriage" is a highly anticipated work with super-luxury casts such as Shin Min-ah, Joo Ji-hoon, Lee Se-young, and Lee Jong-seok.
While it is receiving more attention in that it is the first large-scale live-action painting to delicately reproduce the European aristocratic worldview, sensitive historical controversy erupted from the beginning of the production, and attention is being paid to future responses.
