Actress Jeon Ji-hyun has announced her final departure from the new drama 'Koreans'.

According to multiple sources on the 4th, Jeon Ji-hyun has decided not to proceed with her participation in the spy drama 'Koreans', which is a Korean remake of the popular series 'The Americans' on FX.

It is rumored that her departure was due to the shooting schedule being pushed back from the initial plan.

'Koreans' is expected to share a worldview with the original, which was set during the Cold War era of the 1980s, and will be produced against the backdrop of South Korea during the military dictatorship period. Director Ahn Gil-ho is set to direct, with Lee Byung-hun already confirmed to appear, raising expectations for the project.

Meanwhile, Jeon Ji-hyun has recently made her mark on the global stage through Disney+'s 'Polaris' and is set to collaborate with actor Ji Chang-wook in 'Human X Goblin'. The project is scheduled to start filming in March next year.
