However, drama production company KPJ revealed that “Uinyeo Dae Jang Geum” is a separate drama from the original “Dae Jang Geum” written by Kim Young Hyun. KPJ has clarified that there is no connection between these two dramas, ensuring a clear understanding among viewers.
On February 5th, drama production company KPJ released an official statement,
Hello,
This is drama production company KPJ.
We would like to address the inquiries regarding the participation of Kim Young Hyun, the writer of the MBC drama “Dae Jang Geum,” in the recently reported drama “Uinyeo Dae Jang Geum” (working title).
There is no connection between the drama “Uinyeo Dae Jang Geum” (working title) being produced by Fantagio and Kim Young Hyun.
Kim Young Hyun only learned about the production of “Uinyeo Dae Jang Geum” (working title) through media reports.
The MBC drama Dae Jang Geum, which aired in 2003, is an original creation by Kim Young Hyun. The writer holds all rights to the original script, including the setting of lead characters, relationships between characters, plot development, and episodes.
Therefore, the Korean drama “Uinyeo Dae Jang Geum” (working title) reported in the media has no connection to Kim Young Hyun. It is a completely separate drama with no relationship with the setting, content, or characters of the 2003 MBC drama “Dae Jang Geum.”
We also speculate it is not a spin-off, sequel, or prequel based on “Dae Jang Geum.” We kindly request that you avoid any misunderstandings on this matter.
Thank you.
