[ANNOUNCEMENT] Re: Dear.M

TW: Bullying
First of all, I'm sorry that Dear.M will be postponed their premiere thanks to the recent issues about Park Hyesu, who plays Ma Jua in Dear.M (which inspired Ryuna's character, Jo Narae), was in hot water for bullying allegations.
Everyone worked so hard only for the victims expose her attitude few days before the supposed date of the drama premiere. And this is tiring. I thought that expose was made out of envy because Jaehyun is her leading man (since NCT has their own share of controversies too). Like I feel really bad for posting Dear.M related contents everyday on this site only that Hyesu was exposed for her attitude.
Honestly, all of us are excited to see Ryuna & Jaehyun's onscreen chemistry come to life right? I already used Jo Narae as Ryuna's character name right from the start even before Hyesu was chosen as the leading lady. But thanks to recent events, it's not the right time to premiere.
Jo Narae & Ma Jua are two similar yet different girls: Both of them raised in the broken home, is BFFs with Cha Minho (Jaehyun of course), nosy and cheerful. Narae is a political science sophomore who is unaware of her hidden capabilities as a student while the business administration sophomore Jua doesn't know what to do in life post-graduation. With that characterization, I thought that Jua will be an alcoholic in the drama (thanks to her backstory, lots of beers in the drama and her directionless mindset) but it turned out to be Hyesu is another kind of problematic.
Now, I really don't know what to do thanks to the recent developments of what happened to Hyesu. But for sure, Narae will be slightly different from Jua so does Ryuna & Hyesu.
UPDATE (as of 4:55 PM)
So here's my plan for the next few days:
A. If it's delayed for few weeks (only if Hyesu apologized), proceed as it is
B. If they already found a new female lead to replace Hyesu (it's actually stressful TBH) and refilm all the scenes involving her, Ryuna will still be the female lead
C. If the drama will not be aired anymore as the final decision, have Jaehyun as the male lead again (He already did in "I Am" & "Rights of the Jealous") in one of SeuBim's B-Side MVs in their upcoming comeback ( I already have a concept in my mind)
UPDATE (as of 7:28 PM)
"After much discussion, they have decided to postpone the first broadcast and the new dates for the press con and first broadcast will be announced later."
In short, Dear.M will be premiered in a later date

Hope Dear.M will proceed as normal... I'd get it if it didn't, but wishing Ryuna the best~

@wannabe Yeah I know. We were all excited
But for now, Ryuna will try hard to make it up after this. Jaehyun deserves rest too since he has a heavier load than her
