Park Yu-na plays Song Na-ri, who feels fluttered by Uhm Tae-bong while balancing her girl group activities and acting. As both characters are intertwined with the main characters and affect the romance, expectations were high for their attendance at the production presentation.However, as both Lee Yi-kyung and Park Yu-na were absent, questions arose. Director Yoon Jong-ho explained the reason for their absence, saying, "I am still in contact with the actors even after filming has ended, and I understand that both are currently filming."He added, "We had a gathering a few days ago. We also spoke with those who couldn't attend via video call," and said, "They said they were sorry for not being able to join us (at the production presentation)."In fact, Lee Yi-kyung has been active as an MC for E Channel's web entertainment show 'Detective's Investigation' Season 3 since the 9th and is scheduled to appear in the movie 'Generation's Regret,' set to be released in 2026. Park Yu-na is currently meeting viewers as Han Gyu-young, a dermatology specialist, in KBS2 drama 'Love is Coming.'Meanwhile, there were also concerns about Lee Yi-kyung's participation in the work. Lee Yi-kyung was embroiled in a personal life controversy in October last year due to an accusation by a woman, and at the time, his agency stated that the accuser's claims were false and took legal action. In May, he received a tax notice after a tax investigation regarding the operation of a one-person agency. The agency explained that it was a matter that arose from a difference in tax law interpretation regarding cost accounting standards.'Endless, You' is an unprecedented, unpredictable, and audacious romance that begins endlessly when Uhm Tae-bong (Jung Yong-hwa), a male actor with fatal flaws and a master of melodrama, meets Oh Hae-ra (Hong Seung-hee), a suspicious woman who believes she is the female lead in his drama.Lifetime's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Endless, You,' consisting of a total of 16 episodes, will be first released on TVING at 10:50 PM on the 24th.mcy21@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
