Actor Han Ki-woong will join KBS2 drama "Woman in a Veil". He will fill the gap left by Eru, who was dropped out due to drunk driving.

"Woman in a Veil" tells the story of a woman who lost her sight due to her husband and her lover and falling into a locked-in syndrome (conscious systemic paralysis) and then becomes associated with an heiress. This is the second story of "A Man in a Veil" (2020-2021), and writer Lee Jeong-dae and director Shin Chang-seok will once again work together. It is scheduled to air in the first half of the year.

Han Ki-woong serves as the successor of YJ Group, Nam Yoo-jin. Although he married Jeong Gyeo-wool (Shin Go-eun) because of his grandfather Nam Man-joong (Im Hyuk), threatening to exclude him as his successor, he continues his relationship with his mistress Joo Ae-ra (Lee Chae-young). Eru was originally cast as Yoo-jin, but he was dropped out due to a controversy over drunk driving. At that time, "Woman in a Veil" reportedly had not entered the first filming, only conducting the entire script reading.

On the other hand, Eru was charged with violating the Road Traffic Act (drinking and driving) on December 20th last year.
