Han Ye Seul refuses to show up for ‘Spy Myung Wol’ filming, cast put on emergency hold

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

KBS’s ‘Spy Myung Wol‘ has been put on an emergency hold due to actress Han Ye Seul’s refusal to show up for filming.

On August 14th, a representative revealed that filming was scheduled to begin at 7:30 AM KST. As of 11 AM, however, Han Ye Seul has yet to show up for filming.

According to the representative, today’s scenes required Han Ye Seul, Eric, Jo Hyung Ki, and Yoo Ji In. All staff and cast, excluding the actress, are currently waiting at the filming location.

Through Star News, the representative revealed, “Han Ye Seul directly told the director that she is not filming. She has not come to the film set since then.”

The reason behind her refusal stems from her differences in opinions with the producers regarding balancing her other schedules. This isn’t the first time she has appeared late. On August 12th, she showed up at 3:30 PM when filming was scheduled to begin at 6:30 AM.

On another occasion, she left the filming set early, without reason and consideration for the rest of the staff, leaving producers dumbfounded.

One producer of ‘Spy Myung Wol’ revealed, “If Han Ye Seul does not appear for today’s recording, it will impact the episodes to air this week. We have only filmed about 40% of the episodes that are scheduled to go out this week so we’re all just very shocked that the leading female role has yet to show up.”

wtf.. but lol, poor eric can never catch a break. first poisedon now this?

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Woah. Diva much.

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

mte.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

what the freaking fuck, i hope that she has a good reason.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I think she just killed her career... regardless of her reason for not showing up, no one is gonna want to work with her now.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

I doubt it tbh. Look at Lee Da Hae dropping out of dramas when they're halfway done, and out of films at the last minute. The public criticizes her a lot and she has even been sued for it if I'm not mistaken, but she still gets offers and roles because directors want the good and popular actresses despite the bad press.

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

Hoping for a good reason. If not.. well...

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

idk, it's hard to say she's at fault here without hearing her side of the story, but she really doesn't look good rn

Reporting this is so gossipy and under-handed though. It seems like they're trying to blackmail her into coming back >.>

If I'm going to be a very immature fangirl for just a moment...maybe Changmin won't like her anymore now >.<

[xoxgoodbye.livejournal.com]

LOL Changmin. "I'm not a bad guy either?" Is this the actress?

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Part of me wants to applaud her for fighting the crazy work schedules of actors (we all remember BOF right?)
But I'm mostly shocked at her unprofessionalism ... especially when her fellow cast & crew members are waiting D:

"she showed up at 3:30 PM when filming was scheduled to begin at 6:30 AM"
DAMN! O__o

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

What were the hours like for BOF?

[kimiko1387.livejournal.com]

....I hope this gets patched up because i'm really enjoying this drama...

[ssehun.livejournal.com]

IKR!!!

[sugarbunnyxx.livejournal.com]

hmmmmmm... don't know how to feel about this.
on one hand, she doesn't seem like the type to do something like this without a reason... on the other, maybe she has a personal problem.
either way i hope she just sucks it up and finishes, cuz i can only feel bad for Eric and the cast, who are waiting on her to film.

[very-pinku.livejournal.com]

This is so weird. I was like all thinking, "What if in reality, the actress who plays Joo In Ah is nice but Han Ye Seul is the mean one?"

She better have a proper reason (I actually like this drama...)but her not coming to set until 3:30pm is messed up.

This is why I'm so against live shooting...

[lapetite-indigo.livejournal.com]

“Han Ye Seul directly told the director that she is not filming. She has not come to the film set since then.”


Well damn... I'm pretty sure if I tried this on Monday I wouldn't have a job.

"Bitches, I'm not coming to work!!"

[noxiouspanda.livejournal.com]

lol.

[tsuyogari.livejournal.com]

oh, that's... yeah.

but why do they film so close to the air date? don't they know stuff like this happens? D:

[azurer.livejournal.com]

Trying to take this with a grain of salt, because she COULD have a valid reason, butttt. It's kind of well-known how the filming for Korean dramas works, so it's not like she didn't have any idea of what she was signing up for. I mean, not to condone the live-shoot thing (it sounds like it sucks big time for the actors), but seriously. It is freaking RUDE to leave your fellow cast members hanging like that, especially when it's not like they don't likely have "better" things to do, too. She's not the only big name in the production.

On a more selfish note, I hope that she gets her ass on set, because I have been waiting eagerly all week for the next episodes, LOL :( (I have no life right now, can you tell?)

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

mte. maybe she had an embarrassing personal issue to deal with...but she could have explained it better.

I watched ep. 10 yesterday and the last scene was sooo awesome. I felt emotionally detached to this series - it was entertaining, but I never felt that it hit me emotionally (could be that the plot is a little out there). BUT the last scene got me shedding tears and I had to reawatch 5x. They were so good. This news makes it so disappointing for me. :(

[kendalove.livejournal.com]

ok it's my bias speaking but drama filming schedule usually isn't fix. Sometime they schedule/re-schedule just a day or 2 before the filming. What if she already scheduled another thing before drama schedule come up, she refuse to film but they still insist on that date (it's likely to be the only one date that fit with all other acts except her)...
well i'm bias, i like her but if my theory is not true ... that's unprofessional

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

Ugh why is she being a diva now out of all times! I need episode 11 in my life right now!!

& everyone has busy schedules, so everyone has to compromise. If she wanted a change she could have had a meeting with the staff rather than behave so childish and unprofessional tbh

[prushrush.livejournal.com]

Get the fuck over it and show up for work, lady. You're paid for this shit, and probably paid well, so suck it up, cupcake.

Fire her. There's a million other women who would probably love to play the part she has; she's not God's gift to TV.

[aifurikuri.livejournal.com]

Why now????

[my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com]

lol @ this hot mess. I have never liked her.

stuck in my head now.

neul bam mae ilbam, jakkuman ni saenggak na naneun, geudae ye (Diva Diva D-Diva)
oneul bam mae ilbam, jjarit jjarit han isungan naneun, geudae ye (Diva Diva D-Diva)

[phonominal.livejournal.com]

what a diva. even if it's personal she owes the production crews a notice so that they don't waste time standing around waiting for her.
i kind of wondered what they would do in these k-dramas if something like a huge accident or a breach in contract compromised any of the main actors. they couldn't just kill them off or anything...

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

My best guess is that it just gets canceled. You can't go on without your lead.

I remember that happening to one of Eric's dramas when he injured his back saving an actress from a car.
But I don't recall how many episodes they had aired before then.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

unprofessional. She is holding up all the other actors' schedules doing this.

If she felt there was gonna be a lot of clashing in schedules, she shouldn't have signed up to do this drama in the first place.

[uniqlos.livejournal.com]

i blame yuri tbh. i bet she found out sohn yejin took yuri to another party ;)

[pumpkinskin.livejournal.com]

i love that blind item

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Is she seriously trying to pull a Lee Dahae?!

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

hi bb! tell me more about this LDH issue because I have no idea and I really want to know lol

[nyankee.livejournal.com]

Regardless of everything else, she has contractual obligations to fulfill. She knows what the schedule is and that she, along with everyone else, is supposed to be there when she's scheduled. In that aspect, it's no different than any other job on the planet.

She needs to get over herself.

[bababerry.livejournal.com]

she must have good reason. han ye seul already experience live shooting before
if i wasnt mistaken fantasy couple's final ep is shooted and edited just an hour before airing
