Controversy Surrounding Go Min-Si
Go Min-Si has officially stepped down from her role in the upcoming drama Grand Galaxy Hotel due to unresolved school bullying allegations. On June 26, her agency, Mystic Story, confirmed this decision, stating, “we determined that, rather than proceeding with filming while the school bullying allegations remain unresolved, it would be better to address this issue first.” This announcement comes in the wake of earlier support from the production team, who had initially expressed trust in the actress.

Shin Si-Ah Takes Over
As Go Min-Si departs, rising actress Shin Si-Ah is set to take her place alongside Lee Do-Hyun. Born in 1998, Shin gained significant attention after her remarkable performance in The Witch: Part 2. Following success in her lead role in Resident Playbook, she has established herself as a rising star. Her transition into this high-profile project serves to heighten anticipation among fans eager to see her chemistry with Lee Do-Hyun, who is making his return to drama post-military service.

The Future of ‘Grand Galaxy Hotel’
With filming for Grand Galaxy Hotel set to begin in the latter half of 2025, expectations are building around the new pairing of Shin Si-Ah and Lee Do-Hyun. Initial reactions to their collaboration have varied, with some praising the dynamic duo while others view it as repetitive. Nonetheless, the shift in casting could provide a refreshing perspective to the series that is penned by the acclaimed Hong Sisters.
