Okay, fellow Suzy stans — new first-look stills for Disney+’s Portraits of Delusion dropped and honestly, my heart did a thing. The photos, released on November 13 (KST), give us our best peek yet at Suzy as Song Jeong Hwa, the reclusive Nammun Hotel owner from the webtoon. She nails the look: that black bob, pale complexion, and the eerie, mysterious vibe fans expected.
But — and you knew there’d be a but — Kim Seon Ho’s still as Yoon Iho hasn’t landed well with a chunk of the fandom. Since his casting confirmation, conversations about his 2021 controversy have resurfaced, and these fresh images sparked renewed debate online. Some fans made it clear they’re here only for Suzy; others worried his presence could turn people away from what’s shaping up to be one of 2026’s buzziest shows.
Netizen reactions ranged from full praise for Suzy to blunt calls to recast the male lead. A few representative comments: “I just want to watch Suzy and Suzy only,” “For sure, having him as the male lead is going to make this a no-go for a lot of people,” and “Suzy did a phenomenal job recreating the original character… Just Suzy, though.” So yeah — passion is real.
Quick context for anyone catching up:
- Portraits of Delusion is a Disney+ adaptation of a popular webtoon and is currently filming, with a planned worldwide release on Disney+ in the second half of 2026.
- Suzy and Kim Seon Ho reunite on this project four years after co-starring in Start-Up (2020).
- Kim Seon Ho faced a widely publicized controversy in 2021 that affected his public image and career; discussions about his past have followed many of his recent projects.
My two cents as a fan? Suzy looks stunning and perfectly cast for the role — she sold the mood in every still. Whether the casting of Kim Seon Ho will block viewers is unclear, but the conversation around the pics shows just how invested people are. I’ll be tuning in to see how the chemistry plays out on screen, but for now, I’m mostly just thrilled to see Suzy in a role that suits her so well.
