People Entertainment, Cho Jin-woong's agency, said on the 30th, "He has been proposed to appear in the work and are considering it".

The drama "No Way Out" is a drama about a confrontation between those who want to kill and those who want to survive amid a 'contract killing' that offers a reward of 20 billion won when a rare felon is released from prison.

The work, originally known as the title of "Open Murder Agency", drew attention with its stellar lineup of cast members, including Lee Sun-kyun, Yoo Jae-myung, Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Kwang-soo, and Greg Han Hsu, who gained popularity as a Chinese-speaking youth star. However, the news that Lee Sun-kyun was under internal investigation by the police on charges of drug administration caused a stir on the 19th, when he was about to film "No Way Out". Lee Sun-kyun transitioned from internal investigations to a suspect status on the 23rd, and voluntarily expressed his intention to drop out of the work, judging that it would take a long time to resolve the suspicions through an investigation.

In response, "No Way Out" said, "The production company accepted the actor's position under agreement with the management", adding, "The filming is currently underway as scheduled and has not been postponed".

Meanwhile, Cho Jin-woong is scheduled to meet audiences and viewers with the Netflix film "Believer 2", which will be released on November 17th.
