It looks like You Quiz on the Block is distancing itself from actor Park Sung Hoon.

On the February 19th episode of tvN’s variety show You Quiz on the Block (Ep. 281), actress Cha Joo Young made a guest appearance and talked about her experience filming the hit drama The Glory.

When asked if she expected the drama to become a big success, she confidently said, “I knew the project would do well.”

She continued, “It was so fun, and I could see how things were unfolding. I was both a player and an audience member."

She added, "On set, we were all desperate and gave it our all. I even asked the director how he put together this team, and he told me it was about the sincerity within each of us.”

She also revealed that the cast took their roles very seriously, saying, “Even though we were close, we never had casual conversations on set. Everyone was completely focused, knowing that we all had to do well and that no one could afford to be a burden.”

However, what really caught viewers' attention was what You Quiz on the Block chose to leave out. When the show aired a montage of The Glory cast members, Park Sung Hoon, who played Jeon Jae Joon, was completely missing.

The show is known for treating its featured guests like ‘family’ by calling them ‘Ja-gi-nim’ (a term of endearment), but their decision to seemingly erase Park Sung Hoon stood out.

Netizens quickly noticed the edit, with many speculating that it was due to the ongoing AV controversy involving him.

Some commented, “He’s really been cut off,” while others said, “Looks like they don’t want to be associated with him anymore.”

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.
