Another Taiwanese actor, Wang Ta Lu, was also confirmed for an appearance, but unfortunately, had to withdraw due to his tight schedule. He sends apologies to fans, saying,, “I really appreciate the support of the fans, and I am very sorry for not being able to attend the Seoul International Drama Awards due to conflicting schedules.”
