Hero still looking for a leading lady for Lee Junki

We reported yesterday that actress Kim Min Jung had left the production of MBC's Hero recently, leaving the drama without a leading lady once again. At the time of writing, a replacement for Kim Min Jung is still being sought for. Kim Min Jung was not the first choice for the drama's role which belonged to Han Ji Min initially. But the latter dropped out of the production before filming begun, with Kim Min Jung being drafted in to replace her. But a serious shoulder injury to Kim Min Jung which could not heal in time meant that Hero is now looking for it's third leading lady. The production had said yesterday that it would be announcing the new leading lady between 3 - 4th November. It has already sent out invitations to Moon Chae Won and Yoon So Yi but nothing is confirmed yet since it's all very last minute. A production staff expressed, "With the drama scheduled for 11th November (next Wednesday), it's becoming increasingly unlikely that we can get everything ready in time as we have to re-do everything from the beginning. There's a possibility that the drama might be delayed for a week or more. MBC is already on standby to air other programs to fill the slot. There are no plans to modify the present script as yet." We await good news from their quest to find a new leading lady.
