The Price of Cancellation: Kim Soo Hyun and Disney+'s "Knock-Off"!

Disney+ cancels their new series Knock-Off starring Kim Soo Hyun! We have all the details on what this controversial star might owe!




Drama alert! The buzz around Kim Soo Hyun just got louder, but not for the reason Disney+ hoped. Amidst the ongoing stir involving the actor and the late Kim Sae Ron, the release of his new series Knock-Off with Jo Bo Ah has been put on hold.



Knock-Off Delayed: Kim Sae Ron Effect


Disney+ hits pause on Knock-Off ! The almost-ready drama, slated for April, is now delayed due to the Kim Soo Hyun controversy and public pressure. The production team officially announced the postponement. Word on the street is Disney+, as a global player, would likely hold Kim Soo Hyun responsible for any financial losses stemming from his personal issues.


The K-drama star could potentially face a USD 12.3 million payout. This figure represents the estimated damages (KRW 18.0 billion) the actor might be forced to pay if Knock Off is completely scrapped, representing a worst-case scenario.
