Actress Go Minsi, who has been caught up in the school violence controversy, ultimately dropped out of the anticipated Netflix project "Grand Galaxy Hotel." Instead of Go Minsi, who was initially considered for the female lead, new actress Shin Si A has been cast. Attention is being drawn to whether there will be changes in her next project.
On the 26th, the production team officially announced the confirmation of Lee Dohyun and Shin Si A as the leads. This piece is a romantic fantasy genre that continues the worldview of "Hotel Del Luna," directed by Oh Chung Hwan, and written by the Hong sisters.
Initially, Go Minsi was in the running for the role of Go Sang Sun, and it is said that scheduling discussions were already in progress. However, following the school violence allegations raised in online communities last month, casting was put on hold after internal discussions, and ultimately, she was replaced by Shin Si A. The production team refrained from making official comments regarding the controversy, but it implied that the cancellation of her participation has shaken Go Minsi's standing.
However, it is reported that filming for Go Minsi's other upcoming project, the Netflix series "Ggul-Alba," is currently proceeding normally.
On the 27th of last month, Netflix stated to OSEN, "Actress Go Minsi is filming the project as scheduled," adding that "there are no significant changes." The project had already been scheduled before Go Minsi became embroiled in the controversy and is moving forward quietly with minimal public exposure. Some insiders noted that the priority is to ensure a "smooth conclusion."
However, the situation is different for her upcoming film "The Owner of the World." Go Minsi is reported to have been among the candidates for the lead role in this project as well, but there are talks within the industry that casting remains fluid following the allegations of school violence. Although the production team has not officially stated their position yet, there are reactions suggesting the possibility of changes depending on public sentiment.
Go Minsi has firmly denied the school violence allegations, stating they are "unfounded." However, even the scheduling for interviews following the conclusion of her drama "Tastefully Yours" has not been coordinated, and with her already having dropped out of "Grand Galaxy Hotel," the future of other projects is also becoming uncertain, raising attention on whether she will provide additional statements regarding the matter.
