According to industry insiders on September 17, Yoon Ji On’s exclusive contract with Ieum Hashtag expired on July 6. He is currently searching for a new agency, while his former company is said to be assisting with administrative work for projects he had already confirmed prior to his departure.
According to reports on the same day, Positively Yours, which began production in July and currently has scripts completed up to episode six, was being actively filmed by Yoon Ji On. He had participated in shoots as recently as last week, with more scheduled for this week, but his involvement ended abruptly after being caught for drunk driving.
Production sources revealed they were blindsided by the news, expressing shock and frustration at the sudden change. With filming slated to continue until December and more than half of the project already completed, Yoon’s departure poses significant disruption.
Yoon Ji On made his acting debut in theater in 2013 and rose to prominence through Be Melodramatic (2019). He went on to appear in dramas such as Monthly Magazine Home (2021), You Are My Spring (2021), Jirisan (2021), Tomorrow (2022), My Lovely Liar (2023), and Serendipity’s Embrace (2024). Last year, he starred in Love Next Door alongside Jung Hae In, Jung So Min, and Kim Ji Eun, gaining recognition for his role as principled reporter Kang Dan Ho.
Positively Yours is based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name. The rom-com tells the story of two people who swore off marriage but find themselves entangled in an unexpected romance after a one-night stand. The drama is slated to air in the first half of next year.
