Ha Ji-won and Kim Min-gyu pass on drama 'Affair Hunter'

Ha Ji-won and Kim Min-gyu each declined the upcoming drama 불륜 헌터 (Affair Hunter) after reviewing offers they received in early 2026. Both are now preparing separate new projects.

Affair Hunter will restart its casting search from scratch. Filming schedules and broadcast plans will be finalized once new leads are locked in. Ha Ji-won's most recent work was the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 클라이맥스 (Climax), which wrapped in April with co-lead Joo Ji-hoon. Kim Min-gyu completed his mandatory military service and was discharged in September last year—his first confirmed project decision since returning.
