The character’s name matches that of the controversial Ewha Womans University student who apparently entered the prestigious university on special favors.
The real-life Chung Yoo-ra is the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, the “mystery woman” and “shaman” who has allegedly been controlling Park Geun-hye, the president of Korea, behind the scenes.
Also in the drama, during a roll call in a class, the name Choi Tae-min is called out just after Chung’s.
Choi Tae-min is the father of Choi Soon-sil, who founded a cult and offered advice to Park in her formative years following the death of her mother.
Actor Yoo Ah-in, asked how he felt when he heard the news of the coincidence, replied that he “had been surprised, as was everyone.”
