Han Ye Seul will return to finish filming Spy Myung Wol
KBS Official says it is unlikely Han can return in time for shoot
Korean actress Han Ye-seul will return to her role in the KBS drama series “Myeong-wol the Spy” and finish shooting the 18-part series, her agency Sidus HQ said Tuesday.
"Due to a busy schedule, Han’s body and mind were exhausted, which blurred her judgment. We apologize for this,” the agency said in a statement
“We will make sure that Han returns to the filming scene and finishes shooting,” it said.
After Han suddenly went to Los Angeles skipping the shoot for the KBS drama series “Myung-wol the Spy” Sunday, KBS called her actions “absurd and irresponsible.”
The broadcaster has been airing the drama on Mondays and Tuesdays since July 10 and Han was playing the main role of Myung-wol. After Han’s boycott, the 11th episode of the show on Monday night summarized the previous 10 episodes.
Earlier Tuesday, the director of the KBS drama department Goh Yeong-tak said it was unlikely Han could return to the series unless she came back for the 12th episode, due to be aired Tuesday.
The stance of the broadcaster came as multiple news reports in the U.S. said Han was seen at the Los Angeles International Airport on Aug. 15 morning, local time.
"Han’s actions were unilateral, irresponsible and will not be tolerated. It is not true that she refused to shoot due to a dispute with the production staff,” KBS drama department director Goh Yeong-tak said in a press conference.
Jeong Seong-hyo, chief producer of the KBS, said that the rumors that KBS did not fully prepare the scripts forcing actors to memorize the scripts on the spot or went ahead with excessively tough shooting schedules were groundless.
“After the drama began, Han asked us to reduce her parts and we had to make revisions to some scenes where she did not want to act a comic scene. But she was also busy with her commercial shootings,“ Jeong said.
Han has reportedly claimed in an interview that she was unfairly working long hours due to excessively tight filming schedules of the drama.
“The drama-producing conditions were too tough. Now I have put everything down,” Han was quoted as saying at the Los Angeles International Airport by Hankook Ilbo. The daily said she arrived at the airport on Korean Air flight 017 at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 15, local time.
“I hope that hubae (junior) actors and actresses don’t become a victim like me,” the actress was quoted as saying.
KBS executive producer Lee Gang-hyeon said he received a phone call from Han on Saturday who complained about “being treated like an outcast by other actors and production staffs at the filming scene.”
“Han was supposed to be at the filming scene on Saturday by 8:30 a.m. but she appeared at around 4 p.m. and the producer must have scolded her at the scene. She later said to other staff that day she would not be shooting the drama from Sunday,” Lee said.
Lee Kim Production, the outsourcing production company of the KBS drama, released a statement, saying it will take a legal action against Han.
“The production company has been trying its best to be considerate for Han Ye-seul, when she asked for revisions to the script, filming schedule and even when she was late for shooting time,” Lee Kim Production said.
“We want to make it clear that there was no reason in the filming process to justify Han’s boycotting. Eric, who plays the main male character, had to bear the burden of shooting more scenes since the 5th episode, due to Han’s requests for cuts in the number of scenes,” it said.
KBS said it will go ahead with airing the initially-planed 16 episodes, with a new actress.
Goh said because the drama was based on the script that had won the broadcaster’s drama script contest, it will not change the story but ask viewers’ understanding for changing the actress for the role of Han Myung-wol.
The drama depicts a story of a North Korean spy Han Myung-wol who is on a mission to disrupt the Hallyu Wave by kidnapping a top star, Kang Woo, played by Eric.

Han Ye Seul leave Spy Myung Wol ?
Unprecedented in history, a main character in the midst of filming a drama has left the country without permission to Los Angeles after refusing to show up on set.
After continuously building tensions with the production company of KBS’s “Spy Myung Wol”, Han Ye Seul, who failed to show up at the shoot on August 14th, has left to Los Angeles on the afternoon flight of the 15th. The production company and KBS, as well as her co-stars, have shown their frustration towards Han Ye Seul’s attitude. KBS will make a decision on the future direction of the drama’s production on the 16th, although they have primarily decided on a female lead change on the night of the 15th.
A person in the “Spy Myung Wol” production team stated to Star News, “We have confirmed the fact that Han Ye Seul has left for the US… But we don’t know the date and time of her return”.
Her co-stars, who have been sitting and watching the situation as Han Ye Seul has failed to show up at shoots, finally exploded in anger at the news of Han Ye Seul’s departure.
A leading actor’s agency spokesperson questioned in disbelief on a phone call with Star News, “I found out about Han Ye Seul’s departure through the news. Is her departure true?” and added that, “I heard that Han Ye Seul’s agency found out through the news as well”.
The spokesperson continued, “If it is true that Han Ye Seul has departed the country, she must take all responsibility for the situation going on with “Spy Myung Wol… There were some aspects of her issues that could be understood as a fellow actor / actress, but if it’s true that she has left the country alone, she has crossed the line”.
KBS has declared their firm position, as well. Ko Young Tak, the director of drama of KBS, stated on a phone call with Star News, “The top priority as of now is Han Ye Seul’s return to the set”, and that, “Some media outlets have gone head over heels when they reported about changing the lead role, ending the drama, and other speculations. We will make our final decision on the afternoon of the 16th”.
Earlier this day, KBS stated their official stance towards Han Ye Seul’s refusal to show up to the set. KBS stated, “Despite knowing the fact that her absence at the set may cause failures of episodes to air, Han Ye Seul has unilaterally gone under the radar” and added that “With this said, intentionally causing problems to the production of a drama is unacceptable for a public figure”.
KBS continued, “A planned production of a drama is a promise with the people of this nation. Regardless of what the reason may be, Han Ye Seul must alleviate this problem from expanding any further and sincerely take part in the production”.
“Spy Myung Wol” aired a special episode on the 15th and will return to regular broadcast on the 16th.
