Kim Young Dae Leaves School 2021, Production Team Says It's Not Official

JAKARTA - The Korean School 2021 drama production team responded to Kim Young Dae and his agency's statement that the actor was out of the cast.

Today, July 15, the production team said that Kim Young Dae had signed the contract and had attended the first script reading. They are also getting ready to shoot this month.

"While preparing for the first shoot, his agency suddenly said (Kim Young Dae) would withdraw from drama production without negotiating with the team", the production team quoted Newsen as saying.

The production team and KBS have yet to agree on Kim Young Dae's departure from School 2021. Now, the three parties are working on an agreement.

"Unfortunately the article about (Kim Young Dae) playing another project was released at the same time as his withdrawal from School 2021 without formal discussion with the production team".

Closing the statement, the School 2021 team will share the results of discussions with Kim Young Dae's agency.

Meanwhile, several actors such as WEI's Kim Yohan, Cho Yi Hyun, and Hwang Bo Reum Byeol were confirmed to join School 2021.
