Actor Kim Sung Cheol Gains Attention After Reacting To His New Role In “Hellbound 2” Following Yoo Ah In’s Removal
Actor Yoo Ah In recently tested positive for multiple drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, propofol, and more.
Drug abuse is a serious crime, and production company Netflix recently gave a statement when the actor’s upcoming projects were questioned. Some of the projects, including The Match and Goodbye Earth, are already in post-production.
While some of the projects have already been done, one of the actor’s upcoming shows was meant to be his reprise as Jeong Jin Soo in the second series of the K-Drama Hellbound.
After the news of Yoo Ah In’s recent drug use, it wasn’t surprising that he was dropped from the second series of Hellbound. Very quickly, Netflix announced the person who would take over his role, and it’s Kim Sung Cheol.
Over the years, Kim Sung Cheol has slowly gained recognition for his work on stage and on the screen, particularly in K-Dramas such as Vincenzo and Our Beloved Summer.
After the announcement, Netflix quickly shared a photo announcing the new cast with hashtags, including Kim Sung Cheol. It wasn’t surprising that the comments were mixed, with some fans upset about Yoo Ah In but others praising the casting of Kim Sung Cheol.
Amongst the comments, netizens couldn’t hide their reactions upon seeing Kim Sung Cheol himself commenting on the post. Under the photo, the actor wrote, “In god’s name.”
His own comment was flooded with comments from fans, but eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Netflix also replied to the actor, saying, “We believe in you.”
Of course, it isn’t surprising that Netflix commented on the post, and it was the perfect way to show love to their newest star of the show. Although it was hard for many netizens to see Yoo Ah In taken off the show, many also shared their excitement at Kim Sung Cheol taking over.
