Support the Cast and Responsible Corrections of  Perfect Crown.  Protect the Hard Work of the Cast and Crew!

To MBC Broadcasting Network, Disney+ Management, and the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC)

We, the international and domestic fans of the MBC drama Perfect Crown, are launching this petition to express our deep respect for traditional Korean culture, while firmly standing in support of keeping the drama accessible across global VOD and OTT platforms. We strongly believe that total removal or broadcast bans would be an unjust punishment for a team that has already demonstrated immense accountability.

1. Full Accountability Has Already Been Taken

We acknowledge and validate the concerns raised regarding the cultural and historical implications of the coronation sequence in Episode 11. However, we want to highlight that the production team and creators did not ignore the public.

The immediate and thorough response from Director Park Jun-hwa demonstrates a profound respect for Korean history and the concerns of the public. By swiftly removing and correcting the controversial segments, editing out the coronation audio, and adjusting subtitles for VOD and streaming versions, the director and production team have shown that they hold the integrity of their nation's heritage in the highest regard, proving their commitment to responsible storytelling. Furthermore, lead actors IU and Byeon Woo-seok have issued humble, deeply sincere personal apologies, taking full moral responsibility for elements far beyond an actor's creative control.

2. Preserving the Artistic Integrity and Hard Work of the Cast and Crew

Perfect Crown is the result of months of grueling labor by hundreds of staff members, crew, and a dedicated cast who poured their hearts into delivering an exceptional cinematic experience. Banning the broadcast or completely erasing the show from streaming services invalidates the hard work of innocent crew members and actors who had no say in props, scripts, or historical consulting decisions.

3. The Importance of Preserving Access to the Series

As a united community of domestic and global viewers, our love for K-dramas stems from a deep admiration for Korean storytelling and culture. Perfect Crown achieved immense success and brought joy to millions of viewers worldwide. Deleting the show from platforms like Disney+ and VOD services punishes the entire audience who simply wish to enjoy the artistic performances, growth, and high-quality production of this series in its corrected form.

We respectfully urge MBC, Disney+, and cultural authorities to reject calls for a total broadcast ban or permanent erasure of Perfect Crown. The necessary corrections have already been implemented responsibly. We ask that you protect the artistic contributions of the cast and crew, allow the drama to remain streaming globally in its edited form, and recognize that the mistakes have been met with genuine reflection, respect, and correction.
