Previously, after representatives from the industry gave their reports, it was revealed that Kim Young Dae had decidedly chosen to step down as part of the cast due to reasons such as varying things that were promised.

Thus, "School 2021" is currently locating another actor to take Kim Young Dae's role, Jung Young Joo.

Soon after, on the 15th of July, Outer Korea, Kim Young Dae's agency, reportedly revealed that it is true that Kim Young Dae has stepped down from "School 2021."

Following this, the cast and production team of "School 2021" released a response to the announcement of Outer Korea regarding Kim Young Dae's decision to no longer star in the coming K-drama.

The announcement of the production team for "School 2021" is as follows:

"Actor Kim Young Dae, who was cast in 'School 2021,' signed a contract to star in the drama and also attended main actor meetings and script reading practice sessions. While preparing for the first filming session in July, his agency suddenly expressed that the actor will be leaving the drama without negotiating with the production team.

The production team and KBS have not agreed to actor Kim Young Dae's departure from the upcoming drama, and we are working to reach an amicable settlement.

It is unfortunate that articles about Kim Young Dae going to star in a different show were released simultaneously with articles about him leaving 'School 2021' without officially discussing with the program's production team.

We will share an update with the final decision later on."

Usually, if reports are true, an actor cannot simply leave a show especially when it is nearing production, such as the case for "School 2021." Perhaps the two will be able to make a decision where everyone is happy. Hopefully, things will not point towards legal actions.

Stay tuned for details regarding the ongoing issue.
