[Dispatch=Reporter Park Hye-jin] Actress Lee Chung-ah sustained injuries from a traffic accident. She is considering dropping out of the new drama 'Obedient Killer' (writer Ju Hwa-mi, director Lee Jung-heum).
A representative from Management Forest told Dispatch in a phone call on the 18th, "Lee Chung-ah was in a traffic accident last month. We are discussing her withdrawal from the drama to focus on recovery."
Lee Chung-ah was in a traffic accident last month. She had previously injured her hip joint in a traffic accident last year. The pain is known to have worsened from this accident.
'Obedient Killer' is set in the 1970s-1980s. It tells the story of a woman whose dream was to be an exemplary housewife taking an unplanned job to survive and the events that unfold.
Chung-ah played the role of codename Misery, Lee Hwa-ra. 'Obedient Killer' began filming last July. Lee Chung-ah has already completed filming for a certain portion.
Given the action-heavy scenes involved, it appears a judgment has been made that it would be difficult to continue filming. The agency and production team are already discussing various directions regarding the footage already shot and upcoming schedules.
