Amid reports that actress Shim Eun-kyung would appear in a Japanese film based on the Hiroshima atomic bombing, she has clarified that she declined the role.

On the 28th, an official from Shim Eun-kyung's agency told StarNews, "Shim Eun-kyung received an offer to appear in the work but turned it down," confirming her refusal.

Previously, a recent media outlet reported that Shim Eun-kyung would star alongside singer Wooz (Jo Seung-yeon) and Ando Sakura in a joint South Korea-Japan film titled "Tamako."

"Tamako" is known to be a South Korea-Japan co-production depicting the story of a boy who lost his parents when the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, then crossed over to Korea with a Zainichi Korean and experienced the Korean War.

Although it was reported that Shim Eun-kyung would appear in the sensitive film about the atomic bomb, sparking controversy, she has already been confirmed to have declined the role.

Wooz also stated on the 27th via a live broadcast that while he did receive an offer to appear in "Tamako," he had already turned it down. He explained that after receiving the script, he learned it was a film about the atomic bomb and had decided not to participate.

Meanwhile, Shim Eun-kyung is currently making special appearances in the released film "Assassins" to meet audiences. She is also scheduled to appear with audiences this year in "Day and Night Are Each Other's," which opened the Busan International Film Festival.
