Actor Na In-woo, who rose to fame with his lead role in tvN's recent hit series "Mr. Queen," will replace Ji Soo in the historical series, "River Where the Moon Rises," after Ji was forced out over a bullying scandal.

Broadcaster KBS announced Friday that Na will take the role of On Dal in the series, a story based on a folk tale about Princess Pyeonggang helping her husband On Dal become an army general.

KBS and its production company, Victory Contents, agreed to remove Ji Soo, 27, who admitted and apologized over his wrongdoings during his middle and high school years, and reshoot 12 episodes of the 20-part series with the new actor despite heavy financial losses.

Trigger warning: Graphic descriptions of abuse, bullying, assult ETC

- - -

On March 2, a post was uploaded to an online forum by someone accusing Ji Soo of being a perpetrator of school violence. The writer (hereafter referred to as “A”) stated that they went to the same middle school as Ji Soo from 2006 to 2008 and wrote, “Kim Ji Soo had a bigger build than the other kids his age at the time. Starting in his second year of middle school in 2007, he roamed the school as a delinquent and performed all sorts of bad deeds. The delinquents at the time, including Kim Ji Soo, were quite systematic. First of all, picking a fight with Kim Ji Soo and and the delinquents was unthinkable. If any member of that group experienced something even a little bit unpleasant, all of them would go and beat that person up, trampling over them in an insulting and thorough way.

A describes the bullying )

Further (even worse) accusations followed:
(TW: sexual assult, more bullying etc) )

- - -

In response, the human trash bag Ji Soo posted a hand written apology on his IG today.

The actor’s full statement is as follows:

"I sincerely apologize to the people who suffered because of me.
There is no excuse for my past misconduct.
They were things that cannot be forgiven.


Admits to being a horrible person )

KBS2's new TV series, "River Where the Moon Rises," starring Kim So-hyun and Ji Soo, is set to premiere on Feb. 15.

"River Where the Moon Rises," a fusion of a historical drama and fiction, is based on the novel "Princess Pyeonggang," (2010) written by Choi Sa-gyu. In his work, Choi reinterpreted the Korean classic folktale, "Princess Pyeonggang and the Fool Ondal," in a unique way and gave it a twist.

Kim takes on the role of the ambitious princess, who dreams of becoming the first woman to lead her country, Goguryeo. Ji Soo plays her counterpart Ondal, a naive but determined man who is willing to lay down his life for his love.

“My First First Love” is a romantic coming-of-age drama about love, friendship, and the dreams of youth. Ji Soo and DIA’s Jung Chaeyeon will star in the drama as college students Yoon Tae Oh and Han Song Yi, two close friends who have known each other for 20 years and whose relationship is strictly platonic. Jinyoung will star as Seo Do Hyun, Yoon Tae Oh’s best friend who develops feelings for Han Song Yi.

Kang Tae Oh and Choi Ri will also appear in the drama as Choi Hoon and Oh Ga Rin, a pair of amusingly unpredictable friends who leave home to pursue their dreams and end up living at Yoon Tae Oh’s house.

All 8 episodes of “My First First Love” premiere on Netflix on April 18.

If this plot sounds somewhat familiar to you, this drama has the same character names and plot as a drama from 2015 starring Minho, Kim Min Jae and Park So Dam. It seems to be a remake but there's been no articles that have mentioned it at all. Not a drama that needed this story told a second time in my opinion, but I really like some of these actors so I'll watch.

Ji Soo's been offered a couple leading drama roles, but hasn't confirmed yet. I did love him in his last drama special (Page Turner) so hopefully this one is good too!
