The family of late actor Jo Min-Ki is currently receiving heavy criticism from the public for celebrating the actor’s 53rd birthday on SNS.
On November 5, the wife of late actor Jo Min-Ki posted a picture on her personal Instagram, celebrating the 53rd birthday of her deceased husband.
The picture featured what it seemed to be Jo Min-Ki’s grave. In front of it was a cake, a bottle of whiskey, a pack of cigarettes, and a cup of coffee. Along with the picture, Jo’s wife wrote, “Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you.”
Soon enough, many netizens criticized Jo’s wife for celebrating a disgraced man’s birthday in a public place. Some argued that the family was not being considerate of the victims and that there was no need to celebrate the occasion in a public place.
Afterwards, Jo’s wife deleted the post.
Earlier this year, several female students of Cheongju University accused Jo Min-Ki of sexually harassing them. The actor denied the allegations at first, but he was eventually removed from his position as the assistant professor. Moreover, his agency terminated the exclusive contract that existed between the two parties, implying that there was some truth to the accusations.
A month later, the actor was found dead at his apartment. Even after his death, the actor continued to receive criticism from the public, arguing that his death doesn’t make the victim’s pain go away.
