Why 'Bloodhounds' Director Continue to Cast Kim Sae Ron Despite the Controversy?
Helmed by Jason Kim, who is also the director of "The Divine Fury" and "Midnight Runners," "Bloodhounds" is based on the webtoon of the same name that depicts the story of two amateur boxers who get caught up in the organization of a terrifying load shark named Kim Myung Gil.
As for Kim Sae Ron, she takes on the role of Kim Hyun Joo, the granddaughter of President Choi Tae Ho, played by veteran actor Heo Joon Ho.
At the "Bloodhounds" press conference, director Jason Kim explained why Kim Sae Ron was retained as part of the series.
He said that at the time the scandal broke, the series was almost complete.
However, they couldn't remove her from the series since Kim Hyun Joo is an essential part of the story.

"We tried our best to minimize the actress' appearance to decrease the viewer's discomfort," he said, as obtained by a media outlet, adding, "We did our best to increase the quality of the drama while minimizing her appearance."
