Backstreet Rookie is facing its share of controversies. The show began on the wrong foot, inviting numerous complaints.

Backstreet Rookie has been under controversy from the time it replaced The King: Eternal Monarch, last month. Many viewers have complained about the sexual nature of the storyline, especially Jung Saet-byul (Kim Yoo-jung) and Han Dal-shik's (Um Moon-suk) characters.

Ji Chang-wook, who became an instant fan-favourite with his lead act in popular shows like Healer and Suspicious Partner, continues to leave us mesmerised with his recent outing, Backstreet Rookie.

Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo starrer SBS drama Backstreet Rookie aired its third episode and received love from the viewers. After the premiere of its first two episodes earlier this month, the series found itself in the middle controversy and many K-drama fans demanded the series be cancelled.

It seems like Backstreet Rookie's problems are not going to die down anytime soon. The SBS drama, which filled in the slot previously held by Lee Min Ho's The King: Eternal Monarch, stars Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung in the lead.

Over the weekend, two new Korean drama series began airing in South Korea. One saw the return of Kim Soo Hyun to the small screen following his military training with It's Okay To Not Be Okay and the other was Backstreet Rookie.

Last week, K-drama fans were treated with two new shows that were drastically different from each other and also featured extremely talented ensembles. On the one hand, we had the tvN drama It's Okay Not To Be Okay, starring Kim Soo-hyun and Son Ye-ji.

Replacing The King: Eternal Monarch starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun may seem like a difficult task but Backstreet Rookie is taking up the challenge as it’s set to premiere tomorrow, i.e. June 19, 2020.

We're extremely sad with the knowledge that The King: Eternal Monarch, starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun aired its last episode last week. However, there's an exciting new K-drama that will take its spot on SBS and that is Backstreet Rookie.
