[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actress Fan Bingbing, who halted her activities in China due to tax evasion allegations, has headed to South Korea following her time in Hollywood.

On the 21st, a representative of JTBC's new drama Insider (written by Moon Manse, directed by Min Yeonhong) stated, "Fan Bingbing recently completed filming her cameo (special appearance) scenes," adding, "It is difficult to disclose specific details about her role considering the progression of the story."

Fan Bingbing disappeared from the public eye in China after the 2018 tax evasion scandal involving double contracts. Since then, she has been surrounded by various rumors including detention, affairs, death, and disappearance, but made a comeback after about four years by appearing in the Hollywood film 355 this year.

This is Fan Bingbing's first appearance in a Korean drama. Her unusual move from Hollywood to the domestic scene has attracted attention both domestically and internationally. Chinese local media have also reported on her participation, showing interest.

Scheduled to air this year, Insider depicts the story of judicial trainee Kim Yohan, who falls into ruin during an undercover investigation and fights desperately to seize the lost cards of fate. Actors Kang Hanul and Lee Yooyoung also star in the drama.
