The 10-episode series is affected because of supporting actor’s sexual harassment controversy. Jo Min Ki leaves the cast even though he has already filmed his scenes. It is just the right decision on his part because he is recently dealing with the fallout of being fired from his job. He worked as a university professor and allegedly sexually harassed his students.

Jo Min Ki denied these allegations. Nonetheless, this will affect the thriller series if no replacement is done.

It was reported that Jo Min Ki allegedly sexually harassed his female students at Cheongju University. The university affirmed that the Korean actor underwent investigation for sexual harassment. However, his agency denied these reports and claimed these were merely rumors.

Jo Min Ki, in defense, said that his physical touch towards his female students was only meant for “encouragement” and not molestation.

However, on Feb. 20 at 11 P.M. KST, a theater actress named Song Ha Neul posted on her personal Facebook account. She described the sexual harassment that the actor had inflicted on his female students.

With her testimony, it caused public outrage. Jo Min Ki’s agency Will Entertainment declared that the actor will cooperate with the police investigation. The agency further stated that he has stepped down from OCN‘s upcoming drama.

Children of a Lesser God is about two detectives working together. They unravel the corruption behind a tragic thing that happened within a powerful organization. Kang Ji Hwan plays as an elite and genius detective Cheon Jae In. She is only guided by numbers, facts and logic. Meanwhile, Kim Ok Bin plays as a warm-hearted green-horned detective who has powers, in which he can see ghosts.

Watch Children of a Lesser God every Saturday and Sunday at 10:20 P.M. KST on OCN, starting March 3.
