Since then, EMK Musical Company has not engaged Ok Joo-hyun in casting-related allegations" made an official statement. He also stressed that `I would like to reiterate that it is impossible to cast the cast without the approval of the original author due to the nature of the licensing musical.' From Kim Ho-young's side "After a long phone call, we resolved the misunderstanding and confirmed each other smoothly." reported his position.
