Animal protection organizations protest against the Korean drama "King Taejong Lee Bang-won" for abusing horses and deliberately tying ropes to throw horses

Horse falling is a common scene in costume dramas. Although many stunt workers have explained that these are smart horses that have been "trained" to fake falls, the popular Korean drama "King Taejong Lee Bang-won" also got into the same trouble. This time, the animal protection organization caught it and found that it was not a fake fall, but a real fall because the horses were deliberately tied with ropes.

•South Korea's well-known animal protection organization "Animal Freedom Corps" issued a statement today, January 20, saying that there is video evidence showing that the KBS Korean drama "King Taejong Lee Bang-won" has horse abuse. It shows that during the filming of the horse throw, the horses were deliberately tied with ropes and thrown. After the throw, the staff hurried to check on the actors' conditions and no one paid attention to the horse next to them that looked very painful.

•The Animal Freedom Corps said that they needed KBS to clearly state the health status of the horses involved in the filming, and also requested face-to-face negotiations on future safety precautions.
