Why wasn't Minguk part of the triplet's cameo in Song Il Kook's drama 'Jang Yeong Sil'?

Have you been watching Song Il Kook's historical drama 'Jang Yeong Sil: The Greatest Scientist of Joseon'? Even if you aren't, you might want to watch the above clip.

Song Il Kook's ridiculously adorable triplets had a cameo in a recent episode! The 4th episode of the drama featured Daehan and Manse in ragged clothes, crying on the side of the dirt road. All we want to do is rescue them!

You might have noticed that Minguk wasn't in this cameo with his brothers. It wasn't because Minguk wasn't as good at acting, but because his part was unfortunately edited out.

'Jang Yeong Sil's producer Kim Young Jo stated, "When we met the triplets, they really were so cute. We decided for them to cameo, as it would be promotion for the drama as well. But we didn't know the issue would become this big. More than anything, we apologize for putting the triplets in a harsh, dust-filled place."

The producer also explained, "We thought it would be too obvious if all three children were together, so we divided them up with Daehan and Manse, and then Minguk. But [the episode] went too long and had to be edited, so we weren't able to see Minguk's [scene]. For Minguk, we will request Song Il Kook later on, to see if Minguk can film again later."

On a side note, 'Jang Yeong Sil's viewer ratings are going up! The third episode had a 10.2% viewer rating, and the 4th episode had an 11.3% rating. Could it partly be from this cameo?
