Esom Didn't Join Taxi Driver 2, Here's The Reason

JAKARTA - It is confirmed that Esom will not join Taxi Driver 2 produced by SBS. Tuesday, March 8, this news began to circulate in the middle of the production process which will begin soon. Esom's agency Artist Company confirmed the news and explained the reason.

"It has been decided that Esom will not be starring in Taxi Driver 2," the agency said in a statement quoting Soompi on the same day.

"His casting was discussed, but it was difficult for him to star in the new season due to scheduling conflicts," he continued.

SBS has not announced whether the cast from Taxi Driver will return to the drama for the second part. Besides Esom, this drama stars Lee Je Hoon, Pyo Ye Jin, and Kim Eui Sung.

Taxi Driver tells of a taxi service that takes revenge on victims who do not get legal justice. The drama achieved double-digit ratings during its broadcast in 2021.

The continuation of this drama story has been announced by SBS a long time ago. In December 2021, SBS announced Taxi Driver 2 will soon be produced and aired this year.

Meanwhile, Esom is preparing three new projects in 2022, namely the drama Black Knight with Son Seung Heon and Kim Woo Bin, the film Starlight Falls with Ong Seung Woo, and the film Gil Bok Soon.
