After a lot of online speculation, Netflix has made it clear when "The WONDERfools," a new Korean drama starring ASTRO member and actor Cha Eunwoo, will be released.
On February 11, the streaming giant spoke out about the issue, putting to rest rumors that the show would start on May 15. The project is part of Netflix's larger second-quarter content lineup, and it has gotten more attention in the last few weeks.
Koreaboo reports that Netflix issued an official statement to refute any false information circulating about the show's debut. The outlet said that speculation had grown on social media and in online communities.
Netflix said in its response, "The May 15th release date has not been confirmed."
The company's statement made it clear that "The WONDERfools" was already announced as part of its upcoming schedule, but the exact dates have not yet been set. There was no other timeline given.
Cha Eunwoo stars in the comedy-adventure series "WONDERfools," along with Park Eun Bin, Choi Dae Hoon, and other actors. Fans of Korean dramas are excited about this show on Netflix due to its genre and the cast.
Cha Eunwoo's recent tax evasion scandal has, however, affected the conversation about the series. Insight said that the actor's uncertain situation has raised questions about when his projects will be released.
The outlet also talked about a change that surprised many fans. Insight saw that his Instagram account, which he had reportedly used to post his official schedules, was gone.
The account's disappearance led to more online speculation, with some fans wondering if it meant that "The WONDERfools'" promotional activities would change in the future. Neither Netflix nor the production team has publicly said that the clarification about the release date is related to the controversy.
Netflix still says that there is no confirmed premiere date at this time. As people keep talking about the Korean drama and Cha Eunwoo's ongoing scandal, fans are waiting for more official news about when the series will be released.
