"I came to watch *Piero*, and the cinema is packed! They said the advanced screenings were sold out for over a week, and it looks like all those people are here!"

"Was that movie’s early release today? Why would anyone even bother watching it? You'll regret it."

"Movies with tons of hype and mystery usually disappoint once you watch them, so I’m planning to skip it."

"Why would anyone waste money on a movie like that?"

"I want to hate on Kang Woo-jin, but I'd rather see it myself and then criticize him."

"He stole Miley from me. I’ll curse him forever."

"Even if the movie's good, the chances of Kang Woo-jin holding an Academy trophy are slim. His reputation is already ruined—do you think the judges will look at him favorably?"

"I respect Columbia's ambition, but the results? Unless this is truly groundbreaking, the Academy will hold its pride."

"Would global Academy members appreciate Kang Woo-jin's performance? He’ll probably just end up being a laughingstock."

An hour before *Piero*'s premiere, this was the scene on "Needit," the world’s largest online community. The forum was ablaze, not due to any intentional leak, but because of unfiltered chatter, with Kang Woo-jin and *Piero: Birth of a Villain* at the center of it. Just a week earlier, there had been pockets of support for both the movie and Woo-jin, but in recent days, negativity had dominated.

The rumors about Kang Woo-jin and Miley Cara dating only intensified the backlash.@@novelbin@@

"How focused could he be on acting when he’s busy dating Miley Cara?"
