In the latest still cuts, Ahn Eun Jin, who plays the role of middle school teacher Jin Se Kyung, takes risks and steps up during the protests. 

Despite the chaotic incident, she shows compassion to protect her students and shield them from the dangerous situation.

In addition, Woo Sung Jae, or as they call him, Priest Damiano, played by Jeon Sung Woo, leads the congregation with the word of God amid the chaos. 

Kim Yoon Hye, who plays as commander Kang In Na, maintains her poise and confidence by showcasing her bravery and resilience to protect the public from a disastrous incident. She plays a significant role in maintaining order as survivors attempt to navigate life despite the impending end of the world. 

Lastly, the "Goodbye Earth" teaser also showcased the characters of Kim Bo Min, Kim Kang Hoon, and Kim Do Hye as they took on the roles of So Min, Jin Seo, and Han Yul, the residents of Incheon City. 

While the latest teaser showed a glimpse of characters joining the series, Netflix failed to release still cuts of Yoo Ah In's character. 

Currently, the controversial actor is dealing with his issues regarding illegal drugs, and participating in the ongoing investigation. 

Despite the negative issues surrounding the actor, Netflix continues to release "Goodbye Earth."

However, although fans would get to see the upcoming series on-screen, Netflix re-edits some of Yoo Ah In's scenes. 

According to reports, the streaming giant reduced the screen time for the actor to avoid any inconvenience that would affect the production. 

"Yoo Ah In appears as the main protagonist that makes up the story of the work. Together with the director, writer, and other production team, we conducted re-editing and post-production after sufficient discussion to avoid disrupting the flow as much as possible."

It can be recalled that the release of "Goodbye Earth" was postponed after the award-winning actor, who plays the main character of the upcoming drama, tested positive for various illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, ketamine, and propofol. 

Due to this, Yoo Ah In underwent a series of court hearings and investigations.

Meanwhile, the "Goodbye Earth" release date is set for April 26, exclusively airing on Netflix.
