Amid actor Jo Jin-woong's declaration of retirement following the revelation of his past juvenile criminal record, attention is focused on whether the tvN drama "Signal 2" will be broadcast.

On the 17th, a tvN official told StarNews, "The scheduling of 'Pachinko' is confirmed, but the date is undecided. 'Signal 2' is also undecided for scheduling."

Earlier, OSEN reported that the tvN 20th-anniversary special 'Signal 2', starring Jo Jin-woong, was ultimately excluded from the second-half schedule, with Apple TV+ series 'Pachinko' Season 1 scheduled to fill the vacancy; however, it appears that the scheduling status remains unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, Jo Jin-woong became entangled in allegations including prior offenses as a juvenile, drunk driving, and assault, dating back to December last year.

Amid this controversy, Jo Jin-woong ultimately declared his retirement. At the time, he stated, "I sincerely apologize to all who believed in and supported me for the disappointment caused by my past unseemly conduct. I humbly accept all criticism and, effective today, will cease all activities and put an end to my path as an actor. I believe this is the appropriate responsibility and duty I must bear for my past mistakes."

This has led to fallout for Jo Jin-woong's starring role in "Signal 2." "Signal 2" is a new season of "Signal," which aired in 2016, and has drawn high expectations with Jo Jin-woong, Kim Hye-soo, and Lee Je-hoon reuniting, but its current broadcast status remains uncertain.
