On the 19th, the production team of the SBS drama “We’ve Got a Chance” confirmed to E-Daily, “It is true that the broadcast schedule has been adjusted.”

“We’ve Got a Chance” is a legal detective drama starring Lee Je-hoon and Ha Young. Although it was originally scheduled to air in the first half of next year, regarding the reason for its removal from the schedule, the production team stated, “Since this is a project produced by a large number of staff and cast members, we are carefully considering various options.”

Regarding the future broadcast schedule, they added, “Nothing has been finalized yet.”

Last August, Ha Young was embroiled in controversy after the pro-Japanese activities of her great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, came to light. Ahn Sang-ho was active in the Daejeong Friendship Society, a pro-Japanese organization during the Japanese colonial period, and reportedly stated in an interview with the Maeil Shinbo, “I am the same as a Japanese person.”

Although Ha Young posted a handwritten apology, the fallout continued. She withdrew from Season 2 of *Trauma Center*, but returned to the set of *We Have a Chance*—where filming had already progressed significantly before the controversy—and recently wrapped up filming.
