Due to the seriousness of the allegations, the TV Chosun drama 'Joseon Survival' that Kang Ji-hwan is currently starring in has suspended this week's broadcast as well as the re-runs of previous episodes.
Kang Ji-hwan's agency Huayi Brothers said in a press release, "We are closely scrutinizing recent events involving our artist Kang Ji-hwan and are deeply aware of the seriousness of this issue. However, as the police investigation is currently underway we will defer any statements until the results of the investigation are released. Since the victims are also staff members from our team, we are asking for your understanding so that we can protect the two people. Kang Ji-hwan will be canceling all future activities. Once again, we apologize and offer our sincere apologies to those that have been hurt with these allegations."
