[Edaily Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] Amid the soaring popularity of “The Remarried Empress,” various allegations surrounding the series have also surfaced. In particular, allegations have been raised that a necklace appearing in the drama is a product sold for 2,000 won, prompting the production team to issue a clarification.

On the 10th, the production team of Disney+’s “The Remarried Empress” told E-Daily, “The props used in ‘The Remarried Empress’ were selected with the show’s world-building and overall quality in mind,” adding, “Since this pertains to the production process as a whole, it is difficult to confirm specific details.”
Previously, allegations surfaced on online communities that the necklace given by Sobiesh (played by Joo Ji-hoon) to Rasta (played by Lee Se-young) in the series was the same product sold on a low-cost Chinese online shopping site. In the posted images, a necklace similar to the one in the show was shown to be sold for approximately 2,000 won. Some netizens questioned, “Did they really buy a prop for a blockbuster like ‘The Remarried Empress’ for 2,000 won?”
However, it is reported that the item was actually purchased from a vintage shop in Europe.
“The Empress of Remarriage” is a romantic fantasy epic that follows Na Bi-e (played by Shin Min-a), the perfect empress of the Dongdae Empire, who receives a divorce notice from Emperor Sobiesh—who has fallen for the runaway slave Rasta—and, in exchange for accepting the divorce, demands permission to remarry Prince Ha-in-ri (played by Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom. Episode 4 was released on the 3rd, and within three days of its release, it became the most-watched Disney+ local original content in history worldwide. It also immediately topped the TV and OTT buzz rankings (according to Good Data Corporation) and continues to gain popularity.
