Lee Si-young dropped from drama

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

…after admitting that she is currently in a relationship with JunJin.

The actress was originally cast to be the female lead in the upcoming MBC special drama, “Gesture“, set to air this coming September 5th, but was immediately kicked to the curb once she went public about her relationship. MBC, however, released an official statement on the 23rd stating that any published news regarding Lee Si-young being officially cast as the female lead in the drama were, in fact, not true.

One representative of MBC stated,

"Since no contract was signed at the time, it is always possible to change the cast. However, it is true that script writer Lim Sung-han did have Lee Si-young in mind for the main female role. But it has been decided that due to the public and media’s extensive interest and talk (rumors) about the actress, could affect the drama in a negative way. Hence, the reason we have decided not to cast the actress in our upcoming drama."

Another anonymous representative also stated that aside from being dropped from the MBC drama, a certain brand is reconsidering its decision to contract her as their main CF model. As a newbie actress in the industry, Lee Si-young being dropped from numerous gigs like this will have a negative effect on her career in the future. Looks like not all actresses benefit from their relationship with a well-known celebrity, like Park Shi-yeon and Amy did from their relationship with ShinHwa’s Eric and Lee Min-woo.

It’s sad that she seems to be taking all the hard blows from having a relationship with JunJin. Come to think of it, this can be pretty insulting for JunJin because it makes it seem as though they’re kicking his lady to the curb because he has a lousy image or because they just don’t like him and don’t want anything to do with him.

This is why we can't have nice things. :(

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

WTF, what's the big deal of having a relationship? they are just humans. D:

[ohbangladesh.livejournal.com]

I would think people would watch the drama regardless of who Si-young is with; if the drama looks good I'll watch it even if I don't like the person's partner because (guess what) JunJin has nothing to do with the drama. He's not in it is he? So why does it matter who she's dating?

I've seen plenty of show / movies with a celebrity in them but I didn't like their boyfriend / girlfriend at the time. It's called if a drama is good you watch it for the person in it despite the fact you may not like who they are with atm.

That's why I always say that my love for Korea ends with the music and variety shows. Until Korea proves that they aren't entirely fucked up in the head that is. >>

[rencode.livejournal.com]

I swear, a bunch of f**king c*nts are running MBC. Dx

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

the interest in the actress will actually make people more curious about her acting and hence, the drama, MBC. LAME.
