“The Glory” controversial director An Gil Ho Discusses a New Project with Writer of “Memories of the Alhambra”

Director An Gil Ho and writer Song Jae Jung are discussing a new project, despite the director’s school violence controversies.

An Gil Ho, director of “The Glory,” who apologized for a past school violence controversy, is in talks with writer Song Jae Jung, who worked with him on tvN’s “Memories of the Alhambra,” for their next project.

According to OSEN on April 7th, An Gil Ho, who created “The Glory,” is discussing a new work with Song Jae Jung for the first time in four years. Song Jae Jung, who finished “Yumi’s Cells” last year and has been busy writing a new project with a similar world view to “Memories of the Alhambra.”

At the time, “Memories of the Alhambra,” which starred Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye, gained attention by breaking through a viewership rating of 10%. The new work of Song Jae Jung is in the process of being written, and the goal is to start filming by the end of this year.

There have been rumors that An Gil Ho may step down due to recent rumors surrounding him, but Studio Dragon stated to OSEN, “He is not stepping down, and discussions are underway as to whether An Gil Ho will direct the project.“

In March, ahead of the release of part 2 of “The Glory” on Netflix, controversy arose over An Gil Ho’s school violence during his studies in the Philippines.

Kim Moon Hee, an attorney who represents An Gil Ho, said, “When An Gil Ho was studying in the Philippines in ’96, he had a girlfriend with whom he started dating, and he hurt someone else deeply in a fit of emotion when he heard that his girlfriend became a target of ridicule at school because of him.“
