Korean broadcaster JTBC has recently been plunged into a financial crisis, having declared debt default after failing to repay a 20.6 billion KRW (approx. 55.47 million MYR) loan on time. Now, it is reported that the new drama Rediscovery of Love was suddenly suspended for one month shortly after filming began, sparking speculation on whether it is related to JTBC’s parent company applying for corporate restructuring.
According to Korean media reports, the Rediscovery of Love production team has recently notified actors and staff that filming will be put on hold for one month because the "script and overall content need to be reorganized." This office romance drama, starring Kim So-yeon, Kim Ji-seok, Yoon Hyun-min, and Hwang Woo Seul-hye, tells the story of a divorced couple who start living together and even begin working at the same company, rediscovering each other and love through their interactions. Since its cast was announced, the drama has been highly anticipated.
In fact, just days ago, Hong Jung-do, Vice Chairman of JTBC’s parent company JoongAng Group, held a press conference to announce that five companies — including JoongAng Holdings, Contentree JoongAng, Megabox JoongAng, and JTBC — have officially applied to the court for corporate restructuring procedures. The sensitive timing of this news has fueled public curiosity about whether JTBC’s future TV and film projects will suffer further impact.
