Disney+ Halts Production of K-drama Knock Off Indefinitely Due to Male Lead’s Scandal
The Kim Soo Hyun-Kim Sae Ron scandal has been a rollercoaster of twists and turns, from reveals to counter-reveals to irrelevant reveals, it’s been a lot to keep up with. But now, the latest news is that Disney+ has officially hit pause on the filming of K-drama Knock Off, which was meant to be a big release in 2025 with Kim Soo Hyun as the male lead and a star-studded supporting cast. The drama was set to have 18 episodes released in two parts, but with the scandal breaking last month, the first 9 episodes have been delayed, and further filming has now been halted indefinitely by Disney+. Rumors are swirling that Kim Soo Hyun and his agency, Gold Medalist, could face penalties of at least $8 million USD for the cancellation of this project, a truly staggering sum. With Disney+ halting the production of Knock Off, it might spell the end for Kim Soo Hyun’s hopes of salvaging his career amidst the scandal.
