Ina-eun of the group April, who is caught in the controversy of’bullying’, gets off at the drama’Exemplary Taxi’.
Studio S, a production company of’Exemplary Taxi’, said on the 8th, “The production crew of’Exemplary Taxi’ decided to replace actor Na Eun Na, who was scheduled to appear in the main role in consultation with the agency. Due to sufficient public opinion gathering on the current situation and casting of an alternate role, etc., We ask for your understanding of the delay in the announcement of the position.”
“The drama’Exemplary Taxi’ is about 60% of the total shooting. The amount of the actors appearing will be re-shooting with new actors.” I will do my best for the rest of the time,” he added.
Earlier, the group April, to which Lee Na-eun belonged, was surrounded by suspicion that it had bullied former member Lee Hyun-joo. Lee Hyun-joo’s younger brother was exposed as he left a revelation article in the online community. He revealed that Lee Hyun-joo was bullied by April members and that he even made extreme choices.
The agency refuted the matter, but the public reaction was only cold.
In addition, claims and evidence that Lee Na-eun used verbal violence by referring to Ko Young-wook, a school violence perpetrator and sex offender, also poured out. The agency countered that it was “unfounded” and that the photo was synthesized.
Recently, as the entertainment industry’school violence’ has been exposed, broadcasters are in a state of tension. Actor Jisoo was designated as a school violence perpetrator, and he admitted the fact and got off at the drama “The Moon Rising River,” where he appeared as the leading actor. The drama is a semi-pre-production drama, and 95% of the filming has been completed. Due to the backlash of viewers, the production crew decided to get off Jisoo. Actress Na In-woo is currently filling that vacancy.
‘The Moon Rising River’ dismisses the actor who was accused of being a school violence perpetrator, and other broadcast programs have made a decision. The’Exemplary Taxi’ side also decided to get off the controversial protagonist Lee Na-eun.
The following is the official position of Studio S, the production company of the drama’Exemplary Taxi’.
