Article: [Exclusive] Han Ye Seul cast as female lead for SBS 'Defendant'

Source: Ilgan Sports via Naver

1. [+2,248, -154] The PD better confiscate her passport!!

2. [+2,032, -138] She has such poor diction and she's going to be playing a lawyer ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I can already hear her nasally voice all the way from here

3. [+1,730, -138] Why do people keep casting her ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ her image has been crap since that scandal where she ran away and it's not like her acting's anything special ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ so weird how she keeps landing dramas

4. [+1,431, -106] I'm already laughing at imagining her playing a serious role with her crap pronunciation ã…‹ã…‹

5. [+409, -22] She has a history of running away mid-filming, there are rumors of her personality being bad... her acting's whatever, she has poor pronunciation, she hasn't shown any positive results in both acting or CF deals... she's basically washed up, why is she suddenly landing lead roles??

6. [+356, -9] Senior Lee Duk Hwa's famous words when Han Ye Seul ran away from 'Spy Myung Wol' filming where she said this was the first time she's ever seen something like this happen in her 40 years of actin

7. [+283, -10] Pathetic of the PD for even casting her fully knowing that she has the worst diction and pronunciation out of any female actress and giving her a role that requires heavy legal terminology tsk tsk

8. [+304, -18] I can already tell this drama will flop.......

9. [+212, -6] She's been on a downfall since 'Couple or Trouble', she keeps picking boring dramas

10. [+196, -7] I'm pretty sure Ji Sung is the male lead for this drama... what a flop, he's going to have to suffer through this like he did with his last drama...

What scandal did she get in to?

 

From soompi:

 

In August, Han Ye Seul abruptly left the production crew of KBS drama “Spy Myungwol,†in an apparent move to protest the poor working conditions in Korea. In a span of three days, she left for Los Angeles, only to return to Korea again after hearing mounting criticism regarding her unexplained actions. She addressed the press immediately after returning to Korea and said she boycotted further filming of “Spy Myungwol†because she wanted “the people in Korea to understand the poor working conditions.†She apologized for her selfish act, but did give something to think about, as she said, “I do hope the people in the industry would take this chance to look back at themselves.â€

 

Although some netizens initially questioned the exact meaning of “poor working conditions,†when she was getting paid nearly $30,000 USD per episode, a number of celebrities and officials later voiced their support for Han Ye Seul. Yang Dong Geun called her “naïve,†and accused the broadcasters and producers of working in violation of Korea’s labor law. The Korean Actors Association also issued a statement saying, “We must blame the broadcaster and producer for pressuring killer filming schedules.â€

 

Of course, we will never know the exact motive behind Han Ye Seul’s boycott. Some still argue it was just a publicity stunt taken to revive “Spy Myungwol’s†atrocious TV ratings. However, the fact that Han Ye Seul and â€œSpy Myungwol†did not get nominated in any of the KBS year-end award shows perhaps tells something about the whole situation.

this happened during 2011 http://www.soompi.com/2011/12/24/soompi-2011-most-shocking-scandals-of-the-year/

serious question;

 

I hear about her here and there but is she like a famous actress (way back then) or something?

 

I feel like I should know who she is but I don't know...

 

Idk about much of her works but she's been a popular choice for ideal types along with SHK and JJH.

lol there were also rumors flying around that she wanted to replace the pds after being casted on the show and I think Eric also made a statement about her being MIA all of a sudden and the working conditions during that time. I think he was all like "we're all suffering, not just you" and "what you did was totally wrong". It really was a mess back then lol

I think I have even read that when she went to the states, in the middle of the filming of that drama, back then, with her "lover" whom was way older than her. :derp:

 

Literally, my first ever big-scale-scandal I have ever witnessed on my time in the korean entertaiment industry back then.

From Fantasy Couple to Will It snow for christmas, I can say she's a pretty good actress
And she was so good in Myung Wol the Spy despite her scandal 

I just didnt like Birth of Beauty (boring) and Madame Antoine was good but the lead actor was mehh

And I loved her movie with Song Joon Ki, hopefully they can work together again
