[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] The drama 'Dear.M' has been removed from the KBS schedule.


On the official KBS website's schedule for Friday (26th) and Saturday (27th), 'Dear.M' is nowhere to be found.


The 'Dear.M' viewer board and Naver Drama Talk have also disappeared.


Regarding this, KBS has not issued any official statement.


This decision by KBS is interpreted as a measure taken due to the burden caused by recent allegations of 'hakpok' (school violence) against the lead actress Park Hye-su in 'Dear.M'.


Previously, a post claiming to have been a victim of school violence by a female celebrity was uploaded on Nate Pann. The alleged perpetrator was presumed to be Park Hye-su.


Park Hye-su's agency stated, "We conducted a thorough investigation into the authenticity of the post. As a result, we confirmed that it is false information maliciously intended to slander and defame Park Hye-su," and announced plans for legal action.


Later, the poster clarified, "The person I pointed out is not Park Hye-su," but additional testimonies claiming school violence by Park Hye-su continued to surface, spreading the controversy further.


Ultimately, Park Hye-su's side canceled a series of promotional events for the upcoming drama 'Dear.M'.



Meanwhile, Park Hye-su appeared on SBS's 'K-pop Star 4' in 2014 before transitioning to acting, delivering strong performances in JTBC's 'Age of Youth', tvN's 'Introverted Boss', the films 'Swing Kids', and 'Samjin Group English TOEIC Class'.
