Actor Jung Haein will not attend the screening of Agami after his interview schedule was canceled amid Ha-young's "descendant of pro-Japanese collaborators" controversy.
On the 17th, the team behind director Ahn Jae-hoon's animation Agami said that Jung Haein, who voiced one of the lead characters, will not attend the press distribution screening scheduled for the 26th.
In this regard, FNC Entertainment told OSEN "the Agami press screening had already been discussed as a situation in which he would not attend due to previously already scheduled shooting commitments."
Earlier, Jung Haein had planned to give interviews for the Netflix series "Our Sticky Love" with reporters at a cafe in Jongno District, Seoul, on the 14th. But after Ha-young's "descendant of pro-Japanese collaborators" controversy erupted on the 10th, just four days before the interview, Jung Haein's interview schedule was also canceled, dealing a blow.
Amid this, when it was announced that Jung Haein would also not attend the Agami press screening, in which he participated with voice acting, some speculated the move might be the fallout from the Ha-young controversy. However, it was confirmed that Jung Haein's absence from this screening was discussed earlier with the production company because of a schedule that had been planned in advance and was unrelated to the Ha-young controversy.
Meanwhile, Agami, originally by Koo Byeong-mo, is an animation that tells the dazzling story of Gon, the only child in the world who grew gills on the day he was thrown into deep water, and the beings who were his entire world.
