Park Hanbyul withdraws from cast of "Jinhwang's Love"

We previously reported that actress Park Hanbyul had joined the cast of upcoming drama "Jinhwang's Love", taking on a lead role alongside actor Lee Joohyun.

However, Park Hanbyul, who was recently cast by MBN for her first sitcom, recently withdrew from the cast of "Jinhwang's Love" due to scheduling conflicts that arose. "Jinhwang's Love" was slated to begin filming in September 2011; however, as Park Hanbyul has withdrawn from the cast, filming has not yet commenced, and the drama's production crew will spend time searching for an actress to take on the role.

It is currently unknown whether actor Lee Joohyun will stay on as a lead role for the drama. A representative from his agency stated that they are unsure what Lee Joohyun will do at this time, choosing to wait until after the production crew casts the new lead female role to make his decision.

"Jinhwang's Love", anticipated to make a huge impact on the direction of the Hallyu Wave, has been in its planning stages for 4 years now. Backed by both a Chinese company and a Korean production company, the fantasy melodrama will run for 20 episodes.

Park Han Byul talks about G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P and Dara

Park Han Byul was asked to name some of her “star friends” excluding her boyfriend, artist, Seven. She said that “I’ve met a lot of good people, including my boyfriend. I don’t think that I need to discuss my boyfriend anymore since our closeness is already established,” so she went on to talk about some of her friends who are also in the business:

Kwon Jiyong (G-Dragon), Dong Young Bae (TaeYang): Members of idol group, Big Bang. Friends even before Big Bang. Park Han Byul even calls them, “Ji-Yong, Young Bae,” disclosing their friendliness. “After Big Bang, we didn’t meet as often as before. Before, we often went out to play. Big Bang are still my close dongsaengs (younger brothers), but I keep remembering that nowadays they are so popular, that if I spread around that they’re my friends, people might think that I’m being arrogant. (laughs) These days, calling my dongsaengs confidently is getting to be increasingly difficult.”

Choi Seung Hyun (Top, T.O.P.): Also a member of Big Bang. Friends until Big Bang’s increasing popularity. “Even after Big Bang’s debut, I still see a lot of Top. Because my boyfriend and Top are close friends. Top is really 4-dimensional. Sometimes, even without doing anything, the sight of him is just funny.”

Sandara Park: 2NE1 member. Also befriended in YG. “Sandara, who used to live in the Philippines, didn’t have friends when she first came here. So that we depended on each other then. Actually, the personality that she shows during broadcasts is totally different. In reality, she doesn’t really talk much, to the point that others may think that she’s really reserved (A/N: er, to the point of being aloof) at times. Though we’ve been friends for already 8 years.”
