Musical actors Park Jun-hwi and WOOJIN, embroiled in an 'affair allegation', have ultimately withdrawn from the performances they were starring in. Some shows have faced not only casting changes but also cancellations, leading to continuous criticism regarding the personal lives of the actors.
On the 5th, the production company of the musical 'Nijinsky', Showplay, announced via its official social media that "actor Park Jun-hwi has withdrawn from the performance due to personal circumstances." Accordingly, the performance on the 8th at 2 p.m. will feature actor Shin Joo-hyup, and the performance on the 15th will have Jeong Hwi on stage. The performances on the 8th at 7 p.m. and the 10th have been canceled.
The team for 'Bear the Musical' also stated, "Park Jun-hwi, playing the role of Peter, and WOOJIN, playing the role of Tanya, have withdrawn from the performance due to personal circumstances. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the audience due to the sudden withdrawal and casting changes."
According to the revised schedule, the role of Peter, previously held by Park Jun-hwi, will be taken over by actor Kang Byeong-hoon, and the role of Tasha, previously held by WOOJIN, will be taken by Park Do-yeon. However, the performance on the 7th has been canceled.
In the early hours of that day, Park Jun-hwi's Instagram featured a photo of both Park Jun-hwi and WOOJIN dressed in underwear with their heads bowed. Following this, a conversation presumed to be between the two was revealed, prompting some netizens to speculate, "Was there an affair before their marriage?"
The controversial photo was deleted in about 10 minutes, but it quickly spread through various communities and social media, escalating the situation. Subsequently, Park Jun-hwi's Instagram account was deactivated, while WOOJIN's account was also switched to private. The two have not yet released a statement on the matter.
