Overview
- Multiple outlets citing Hallyu Forums report the series is being weighed for a first‑half 2026 slot, though Disney+ has not issued an official announcement.
- Disney+ formally postponed the high‑budget drama in early 2025 after allegations about Kim Soo-hyun’s past relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron surfaced.
- Industry notes describe a roughly 60 billion won production as Disney+ reworks its 2026 slate, reflecting the cost of shelving the project versus releasing it.
- Kim Soo-hyun and his agency have denied underage‑dating claims and filed defamation cases, while his lawyer says police have completed a considerable part of the investigation.
- Sponsors previously signaled concern and said positions would hinge on Disney’s decision, with reports suggesting early‑March investor briefings could address remaining release plans.
