Netflix’s ‘Boksak Sokassuda’ released all three acts, including the final episode 16, on the 28th of last month. Jeon Han-gil is speculated to have been assigned a minor role related to the internet lecture company founded by Geum-myeong (played by IU) in the fourth act. However, Jeon Han-gil did not appear in the actual final episode of the fourth act.

Some netizens are speculating that the reason Jeon Han-gil did not appear might be due to him recently revealing his political stance publicly.

Jeon Han-gil has participated several times in rallies opposing the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol following a state of emergency. On the 12th, he expressed his feelings regarding President Yoon’s release by saying, “I felt really good that day.

It will be remembered as a historic scene.”
