[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Attention is focused on whether Lovelyz’s Jung Ye-in will fill the vacancy left by Ha Young, who has exited the drama “Severe Trauma Center.”
A Netflix spokesperson stated on the 23rd regarding Ye-in’s potential appearance, “Casting is currently under discussion, and nothing has been finalized yet.”
“Trauma Center” is a Netflix series that tells the thrilling story of Baek Kang-hyuk (played by Joo Ji-hoon), a genius surgeon who once served on the battlefield, as he is assigned to revive a defunct trauma team. Released last year, the series garnered immense popularity both domestically and internationally, and thanks to this success, production of a new season has been confirmed.
However, controversy erupted after allegations surfaced that Ahn Sang-ho, the great-grandfather of Ha Young—who played the role of Cheon Jang-mi—was a pro-Japanese collaborator, ultimately leading to Ha Young’s voluntary departure from the series. Following her departure, the production team of “Trauma Center” began casting for a new actress to fill the role.
Meanwhile, Jung Ye-in, who debuted as a member of the girl group Lovelyz, began her acting career in 2017 with the web drama *The Blue Sea*. Since then, she has continued her acting career with appearances in tvN’s *Criminal Minds* and the TVING and Watcha series *The Country Where Everyone Wants to Be Cool*.
