Yoo Ah In’s Netflix K-Drama “Goodbye Earth” Gives An Update Amid His Drug Controversy

Amidst the controversy surrounding actor Yoo Ah In due to drug allegations, there is new information about the highly anticipated Netflix series Goodbye Earth.

According to YTN’s report on December 11, discussions are underway to release the Netflix original series Goodbye Earth in April of next year. Initially scheduled for release this year, Goodbye Earth faced a crisis where the work might not be released at all due to the sudden emergence of the Yoo Ah In controversy.

In addition, it was reported that Yoo Ah In will be edited out of Goodbye Earth as much as possible.

Goodbye Earth is a dystopian story about people living in the last 200 days of a world of chaos before the Earth and an asteroid collide. It is based on a Japanese novel of the same name.

Earlier, when Goodbye Earth faced a setback due to the Yoo Ah In drug controversy, supporting actor Kim Young Woong, who appears in the K-Drama, gained attention for posting remarks on social media.

How should I express it? The casting news, the delightful phone call, and the first shoot filled with excitement are all about to become nothing but bubbles. Above all, countless staff members who gathered together with patience and sacrifice, actors who gathered to shine each character, and the director who was more eager than anyone… Also, the writer who did not stop writing even while skick. And the production company that took care of the site until the end. If his wrongful actions are true, he deserves condemnation. There is no intention to defend or advocate. Naturally, there should be consequences.

The actor also stated his sadness that Goodbye Earth may never be shown because of the controversy.

I’m just sorry that Goodbye Earth, which was about to be born through the efforts and sacrifices of so many people, might not see the light of day. As a humble actor living in the age of chaos, I ponder about which path to take.

— Kim Young Woong

Yoo Ah In, who faces severe allegations of drug use, is expected to find it challenging to return to the entertainment industry.
