If the police conclude that Yoo Ah In is truly guilty, many people will be severely affected by his scandal.
Actor Yoo Ah In has been embroiled in a doping scandal for a while now, and he has undergone an official police interrogation. The scandal has been shocking and the audience is eagerly waiting for the police’s final conclusion. Moreover, many people in the film industry are anxious about their future prospects.
Netflix has been heavily impacted by Yoo Ah In’s scandal as they have invested a lot of money in producing films with him. Two of their projects are finished and waiting to be released. However, Netflix has postponed the release date for “The Match” after Yoo Ah In appeared at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for an interrogation. Several other Netflix original films with Yoo Ah In, including “Goodbye Earth,” will also have their release dates adjusted. Netflix is still hopeful for Yoo Ah In as they have only announced postponements and not cancellations. However, they have quickly found another male lead for “Hellbound 2” to avoid any further delay.
Director Kang Hyeong Cheol is also facing bad luck as his highly anticipated movie “Hi.5” may not be released. The film marks his return after a five-year hiatus and stars Ra Mi Ran and Ahn Jae Hong in lead roles. The story revolves around female divers who gain superpowers overnight, turning their lives upside down.
If Yoo Ah In is convicted, it will be difficult for the films he starred in to be released. Many co-stars may lose their projects or have to reshoot with a new male lead. Only a few co-stars have spoken out about the issue, including Kim Young Woong, a supporting actor in “Goodbye Earth,” who expressed disappointment that the film may never be released. Moon Jung Hee, the lead actor in “The Match,” and another actor in the same film, Hyun Bong Sik, have also expressed sadness about the uncertain future of the project.
The fate and future of Yoo Ah In, “The Match,” “Goodbye Earth,” and “Hi.5” are still unknown. We will have to wait for an official answer.
