Recently on several online community forums, a video titled “Director Infuriated by Lee Yeon Hee‘s Acting” has resurfaced. This video is an edited clip of an episode of Mnet “Wide Entertainment News” that originally aired in May. In this particular episode, “Wide Entertainment News” followed Lee Yeon Hee to a filming set of a TV commercial.
Lee Yeon Hee flaunted her unique elegance and innocent-looking smile throughout the filming. Lee Yeon Hee kept running back to the monitor to see how she had done, but seemed rather unimpressed. She murmured, “I don’t know if I’m expressing this right,” and continued to rehearse by herself during breaks and free times. Before returning to filming, one of the staff members asked Lee Yeon Hee, “Are you confident?” and she shyly responded “I practiced a little bit at home, but I’m not sure if it’s all gonna come out or not,” with a smile on her face.
Upon returning back on the set, Lee Yeon Hee tried her best to express refreshing feelings with her facial expressions and body movements. However, it all seemed not enough in the eyes of the director. The director stopped filming and told Lee Yeon Hee, “That’s not classy.” She responded to such comment with a smile, but she still seemed a bit embarrassed.
Netizens commented on this video, “She must be upset, but she really needs to put more efforts in,” and “If staffs and the director are openly criticizing your acting, there must be a problem.” Meanwhile, some fans are defending Lee Yeon Hee, “That was so unnecessary,” and “She’s trying her best. Don’t scold her like that.” Other netizens blamed “Wide Entertainment News” for poor editing of the scene, claiming that “It was just another happening on the filming set, they just wanted to make it look like it’s a bigger deal than it really is by editing it poorly.”

The article basically says that the director and staff were not happy with her performance on a drink CF, with the director eventually telling her that she was "lowering the class of the material" with her poor acting.
1. [+957, -110] I feel like he just said what I've been wanting to say ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, just thinking about her acting in "Ghost" makes me..........
2. [+867, -91] The director wasn't too harsh at all. Can you really call her an actress? She isn't prepared at all. All she trusts is her pretty face, and she's lucky she's even made it this far with just that. Just quit if you're not cut out for it.
3. [+815, -87] I'm pretty sure her company chose through a number of CFs to find the one that fit her best but she's still an awkward fit for it. How can an actress not even be able to pull off a scene where she's spooning yogurt into her mouth? ㅋㅋㅋ Yeon Hee should just shoot CFs where she doesn't have to talk
4. [+173, -10] Despite the fact that she has poor acting skills deserving of criticism, she is one of the only celebrities that tells whoever is saying that to her outright that she doesn't want to hear it. She once confidently said that she hears her acting controversies through one ear and out the other... She has quite the temper under that innocent face. (A reply to this reply: Lee Yeon Hee also has trouble keeping a straight face when she hears things that aren't about praising her so she can't even be on variety shows that often. Jun Ji Hyun is the same so she refuses to go on varieties, whereas PDs refuse Lee Yeon Hee outright.)
5. [+163, -8] I remember seeing the SK2 ad and wondering how an actress could be so awkward in a CF ㅋㅋ
6. [+148, -7] People that work in normal companies have to hear worse criticism than that and earn just a fraction of what Lee Yeon Hee earns in a CF... It's just a matter of holding it in and working even harder.
7. [+128, -9] She really doesn't match as the model for SK2... SK2 has that kind of luxurious image, and Lee Yeon Hee would match something like Innisfree or Skin Food more.
8. [+107, -8] She's like Park Han Byul in that they both can't act, are boring on variety shows, can't even sing or dance... They have no talents.
9. [+104, -13] None of them SM kids can act, which is why all of their dramas end up failing. There's not one idol in SM that can survive on their own outside of the company because it's their fandom that shields them. They'll open their eyes to reality once their fans can't shield them anymore. They're lucky they're in that company.
10. [+100, -1] What a direct criticism ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But then again, she has to know she sucks in order to do better ㅋㅋㅋ Need the whip more than the carrot sometimes ㅋㅋㅋ
