KARA’s Seungyeon Turns Down Role In Drama “Playful Kiss”

It will be hard for Han Seungyeon to participate in the upcoming drama ‘Playful Kiss’.

Management for KARA stated on the 6th that “KARA will be debuting in Japan this coming August. Because of this, joining ‘Playful Kiss’ will be hard in reality because of the conflicting schedules. Although it is a good opportunity, it is really not probable at this time for her to join the drama. We have already told them that her joining the drama will not be possible because of this conflict.”

They added: “Although being included in a drama is a good opportunity, the debut of KARA had already been promised to their fans in Japan and they do not want to break their promise. Debuting abroad is about good timing, and we have been preparing hard for their debut in Japan for a long time.”

There had been a lot of interest among netizens about the cast of the upcoming drama ‘Playful Kiss’, and the casting has been a hot topic as well. Among the strong contenders are Park Bo Young, Han Seungyeon and Park Shin Hye.
