View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shinmina (@illusomina)The female lead, Shin Min Ah, was the first to cancel her interview. The My Girlfriend is a Gumiho star was scheduled for a video interview on October 19, addressing the wrapping up of Hometown Cha Cha Cha. The actor’s agency, however, chose to postpone the interview citing “internal situation of the company.” While the agency did not mention Kim Seon Ho or the controversy, many speculated the cancelation was to avoid escalating the situation, as it would be difficult for Shin Min Ah not to mention her Hometown Cha Cha Cha co-star, Kim Seon Ho.Actors Kim Seon Ho and Lee Sang Yi, who played the second lead on Hometown Cha Cha Cha, also canceled their interviews following Shin Min Ah’s lead. Both the actors’ labels cited “internal circumstances” as the reason behind the cancelation.Kim Seon Ho was supposed to attend the interview on October 20, while Lee Sang Yi’s was scheduled for October 21. Given the ongoing scandal though, it looks like fans will have to wait a while before getting to meet their favorite Gongjin residents once again.
