With allegations of Jo Jin-woong being involved in a juvenile crime case surfacing, his next project, 'Second Signal,' is also in jeopardy. Notably, 'Second Signal' was in discussions for simultaneous broadcast in Korea and China, and depending on the truth of these allegations, the repercussions are expected to be significant.
According to the entertainment industry on the 5th, tvN's new drama 'Second Signal,' which wrapped up filming in August, had been undergoing behind-the-scenes discussions aiming for simultaneous broadcast in Korea and China in the first half of the year. If the simultaneous broadcast in both countries were to happen, it would be the first drama officially released in China since the Hallyu ban, garnering considerable interest from industry insiders.
However, Jo Jin-woong's past controversy has put them in an awkward position. Jo Jin-woong plays a key character in 'Second Signal,' and due to the story's flow, partial editing is impossible. If various allegations are proven true, a difficult situation is anticipated.
'Second Signal' is the sequel to 'Signal,' which aired in 2016 as a commemoration of tvN's 10th anniversary by CJ ENM. Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary in 2026, 'Second Signal' follows in the footsteps of its predecessor with writer Kim Eun-hee penning the script, and Jo Jin-woong, Kim Hye-soo, and Lee Je-hoon reuniting as the main cast.
