Amid controversy following repeated confirmations of her great-grandfather Ahn Sang-ho's pro-Japanese activities, actor Ha Young is reported to have shed tears during the filming of a drama.

According to a report by MyDaily on the 16th, Ha Young continues filming for her upcoming SBS drama 'There Is Hope'. However, it was learned that she suddenly broke down in tears while filming on the 13th and could not compose herself, leading to a temporary halt in production.

At the time, Ha Young reportedly took several hours of rest to regain composure before returning to the set and continuing with the scheduled filming.

Ha Young recently found herself at the center of controversy as her great-grandfather Ahn Sang-ho's pro-Japanese activities were brought back into focus. Since related allegations surfaced on the 10th, criticism directed at Ha Young has continued, affecting both the broadcasting and advertising industries.

However, it appears there will be no changes to Ha Young's participation in 'There Is Hope' amid this controversy.

Earlier, SBS stated regarding the controversy over Ha Young's great-grandfather: "'There Is Hope' is already largely filmed, and we cannot disclose details about the amount of footage shot or specific progress rates." They added, "We are aware of the matter and are closely monitoring its developments. We will provide updates once more information becomes available."

However, as filming has reached its final stages, it is understood that suddenly changing the cast would be difficult.

On the 7th, Ha Young appeared on KBS 2TV's variety show 'Problem Children in House' and said, "My grandfather was the first to open Yang (Rep.) in Hanyang and treated patients for Ko Jong (황제)." Following this, speculation arose that her great-grandfather might be Ahn Sang-ho. When his pro-Japanese activities were revealed, it sparked controversy.

Subsequently, Ha Young apologized, stating, "Through this incident, I personally searched for relevant materials and learned of my great-grandfather's pro-Japanese actions. I sincerely regret having lightly mentioned family history without properly understanding the painful period of Japanese colonial rule in our country's history."
