A source in the entertainment industry told Sports Chosun on the 4th that `Jeon Ji-hyun finally dropped out while coordinating the appearance of the new drama 'Koreans'.' `Koreans' is a Korean version of the popular FX channel series . If the original work and the worldview set in the Cold War era in the 1980s were shared, there were also speculations that 'Korean' would be produced against the backdrop of Korea during the military dictatorship.
Director Ahn Gil-ho was in charge of directing and Lee Byung-hun decided to appear early, and even Jeon Ji-hyun reviewed the work and received attention from viewers. In particular, Jun Ji-hyun worked with Lee Byung-hun in the 1999 movie "Happy Together". This time, there was also interest in reuniting as a spy couple rather than a brother and sister.
However, Jun Ji-hyun had no choice but to decide on the final departure as the filming of 'Koreans' was delayed beyond the originally scheduled schedule. Jeon Ji-hyun finally decided to leave because it was difficult to coordinate the filming schedule of 'Human X Gumiho', which was offered before 'Koreans' and confirmed its appearance. Jun Ji-hyun and Ji Chang-wook will work together 'Human X Gumiho' will start filming in March next year.
Since her debut as a fashion magazine model in 1997, Jeon has been a box office queen in various movies and dramas. Recently, he showed his global performance by introducing Disney+ 'Polaris'. In addition, he is taking various steps by leaving his long-held agency and establishing a new agency. Expectations are high for his future moves as he is approaching the public by showing Jeon Ji-hyun's appearance that has not been seen before, such as appearing on YouTube.
