Earlier, Kim Jae Won had temporarily pulled out of the drama 'I'm a Flower too', after an unexpected malfunctioning of the motorcyle he was on during the first day of filming. He had expressed that despite tearing his tendon, fracturing a bone, and dislocating his shoulder, he still wanted to try his best to remain a part of the drama. However, he released another statement through his agency today stating that he will be officially pulling out of the production.

I'm sincerely sorry for causing all the viewers and fans to worry about my appearance on 'I'm a Flower Too'. After several examinations and discussions with my doctor, and out of concern for the situation the production team is in, I have decided to pull out from 'I'm a Flower too' since I will not be able to make a quick return to the set. For all the viewers and fans who have been waiting for this next project, I promise to focus on getting treated, so that I can return with a new project in a healthy condition. Even though I won't be able to carry on the project anymore, I will not be able to forget the time I spent with everyone. This includes our director (who has trusted and waited for me), scriptwriter Kim Do Woo (who has prepared the best script), and my hoobae and sunbae co-actors. Although I can't participate in the project anymore, I wish for the success of 'I'm a Flower Too' more so than anyone, and I hope to have an opportunity to be able to work with our director and writer again. Please give 'I'm a Flower Too' your love and support. Lastly, I want to thank the MBC production team and everyone who has worried about me.
