Song Jiwoo is stepping into a new and exciting role as the young Kim Jiyeon in the upcoming SBS drama Gwigung, and fans can't wait to see her shine!

In a recent announcement, Song Jiwoo's agency, Incode Entertainment, confirmed that she will play the childhood version of Yeori, a character portrayed by Kim Jiyeon, in the highly anticipated fantasy romantic comedy drama Gwigung. The drama is set to air in 2025, and the excitement is already building.

Gwigung, written by Yoon Soo-jung and directed by Yoon Seong-sik, follows the story of Yeori, a shaman who refuses to embrace her destiny as a medium, and her first love, Yoon Gap (played by Yook Sungjae). The couple's lives take a dramatic turn when they confront an evil, cursed serpent spirit, Kang Cheol, trapped in Yoon Gap’s body and seeking revenge against the royal family. The drama promises a thrilling mix of romance, fantasy, and action.

As the younger version of Yeori, Song Jiwoo will portray a girl with mystical powers, influenced by her famous grandmother, a renowned shaman. However, Yeori’s life is turned upside down when she becomes involved with an unmovable serpent spirit that couldn't become a dragon. This leads her on a chaotic journey filled with twists and turns.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
