Earlier in the week, it was announced that MBLAQ's Lee Joon had been cast in KBS drama, 'My Daughter Soyoung'. However, it has been announced that the earlier statement was false and has been retracted.

The KBS 2TV drama 'My Daughter Soyoung' is currently in its casting stages. Although Lee Joon was among the first selections to be cast as the female lead's immature younger brother, he will not be featuring in the new series after all.

Producer Yun Hyun Ki stated, "Is is true that Lee Joon was one of the candidates for 'My Daughter Soyoung', and we were optimistic about casting him. However, we came to the conclusion that he would not be cast after all, and we are currently looking for other actors. We will release an official statement after the final selection has been made."

The reason for Lee Joon not being cast was revealed to be his activities overseas with MBLAQ. The boys are currently performing in Japan, and have a show coming up in Taiwan as well. It would be difficult for the singer to make time for the tight filming schedule with all of his overseas activities.

MBLAQ's agency J.Tune Camp expressed, "Because Lee Joon is busy with his overseas schedules, he will unfortunately be unable to appear in the drama. He plans to devote all of his strength to the remaining performances of MBLAQ's Asia Tour."
