Netizens horrified at death of horse on film set of 'Taejong of Joseon'

  • the gifs in the articles are little hard to watch... they tied a wire to the horses leg so that it would fall upon running full speed. The force and pull of it must have been so painful, the momentum literally had that horse somersault onto it's back...

    disgusting and fucking horrible, all just to get that shot..

    tw, the fatal stunt:

    what....

    They even hurt the stunt double


    The director wasnt giving a fuck killing people as well

  • Animal cruelty at its finest. Even if it survived it would not be the same animal. horses don't forget. it's 2022, there's various ways to depict a rider falling from a horse without killing an animal. This drama deserves to be hated. Even if it he didn't break his neck, he surely would have broken a leg, a horse doesn't always recover from broken legs, they are big animal's dependent on all 4 legs. how stupid can a person be? I hope there's justice for that poor creature who didn't deserve this. Who in their right mind would force an animal to fall like that? You have to be completely stupid. There's been many major motion pictures involving horses and falling that never resulted in a horse getting seriously injured/dying. There's no excuse for this. That horse is CLEARLY in pain in that Instagram video. CLEARLY in pain. As someone who's loved horses most my life, this hurts so bad. It brings tears to my eyes. I cannot believe the audacity of some people.


    a horse is a thousand-pound animal who in their right mind thought it was smart to FORCEFULLY trip them at full speed like? what the hell kind of clownery is this? HE didn't die a few days later like they speculate he died on the scene. His neck is broke and the twitching in his legs is evident. Nice to try to save face saying he died days later...that horse wasn't getting up. Even if his neck isn't broken that leg that was tied surely is...and almost 90% of a leg being broken on a horse is fatal. god damn how stupid are people.


    i have legit seen comments of people asking why others are more angry over the horse and not the actor, no one deserves to die over something so incredibly stupid. A thousand-pound animal could have easily crushed the actor. Someone wasn't thinking at all...and they should be ashamed of themselves.

    its even worse if it died later

    that means the horse was in pointless pain for a whole week........

  • its even worse if it died later

    there's no way he died later, he's motionless and fell pretty hard on his neck and his leg looked broken. i saw the stuff that was on instagram and as a horse lover i can tell he was dead. even if he's still alive there was no way they were getting that horse up.


    his neck is twisted clearly

    poor thing, the horse most likely died on impact. Atleast it had a quick death but the pain probably overpowers dying a quick death.

  • someone who clearly didn't take a safety lesson in school.

    definitely someone brainless. I really really hope they get punished, even the owner, clearly they didnt' care enough about their animal to allow this to even happen. i don't blame the actors, but i think the stunt double should have used his brain and realized this wasn't a good thing.

  • WTF!? That's egregious and disgusting!? How do they expect a 900 lb animal to just get up and be okay after that?! If a 900 lb human ran at full speed and, somersaulted, and literally had their whole body weight come crashing down AFTER having their legs wrenched from under them forcibly to create that momentum, would they just get up and be okay?! Are horses superhuman!?


    And, the stuntman was even hurt. Notice all the PDs ran to him. No one cared about the poor horse.

    They can be held very liable even criminally not just for the horse but mainly for the stunt actor. He was seriously injured during this. I'm sure what he signed up for didn't involve this. He may not have understood how serious this scene would be. You are on a horse a horse can run at about 45mph that's like sitting on the roof of a car and it crashes you are launched off it and hit the ground at 45mph with no airbags you will sustain serious injuries if not killed by it

  • Oh no this is disgusting. This needs to reach international news. Producers no matter what country they're from should not be allowed to harm animals like this for entertainment. Has this information reached larger platforms? There needs to be repercussion.

  • In this day and age, they still use real horses to do a stunts like this? This could have been achieved by CGI, or some camera trick. This is unforgivable. The ones responsible for this should get sued for animal abuse !!!


    The stunt double seems injured too, definitely not something he expected to happen.
