Following the intense media attention surrounding the back-and-forth exchange between actress�Han Ye Seul and KBS, her co-star Eric has finally expressed his honest opinions regarding the situation. To recap, Han Ye Seul has refused to show up for her filming commitments with 'Spy Myung Wol' since August 14th, holding up the production schedules of everyone involved and forcing the crew to come up with a quick highlights reel for this week's episode due to insufficient footage. On August 15th, Eric spoke through an interview with Newsen, saying,

"Though the viewer ratings and reports for 'Spy Myung Wol' haven't been that great, the rest of the actors and I have been enduring it and doing our best while thinking, 'If we work hard, there will be good results'. Of course, my tight schedule and filming itself have been a little hard, but I've been trying my best to keep my promise with the viewers. Haven't we all gone through tough times will working on 'Spy Myung Wol' and other dramas? Isn't it the same for all the other actors? I believe that overcoming and fighting through these struggles is the responsibility of the actor. I believe that staying out of reach and causing the drama to stop is not right. �I wish Han Ye Seul would hurry and return to the set. I want to achieve a successful conclusion with mutual understanding."

Eric had been caught in between Han Ye Seul and their PD since the beginning of 'Spy Myung Wol'. When Han Ye Seul initially suggested changing PDs, Eric said, "If the PD changes now, it'll have a bad effect". A representative said that afterwards, Han Ye Seul completed her filming smoothly. There's a rumor that said the producers and staff met with the actors to listen to both sides of the�argument. Meanwhile, there have been a barrage of reports since the afternoon of August 15th, stating that Han Ye Seul had left for America on a 3PM flight under her real name,�Leslie Kim. Supposedly, Han Ye Seul went to Los Angeles to visit her parents. There have also been reports through social media networks from those who reportedly sighted her at the airport waiting for her flight. But there's no verification about her exact whereabouts yet, as her agency and production company have been unable to get in contact with her since. Source: Newsen via Nate & Sports Chosun via Nate
