's tears from actress Ha Young (33, real name Ahn Ha-young) had no 'chance of success' in overturning the controversy over her great-great-grandfather being a traitor.

According to MyDaily on the 16th, Ha Young had previously begun filming SBS's new drama "There Is a Chance" on the 13th. However, Ha Young suddenly burst into tears, unable to control her emotions, and the situation escalated to the point where filming was halted.

The media reported that "Ha Young took several hours of rest to compose herself before finally completing the shoot."

'Currently, Ha Young is at the center of the 'descendant of a traitor' controversy. Recently, she boasted about her great-great-grandfather on KBS 2TV's public broadcasting variety show "Roommate," only for it to be revealed that this ancestor was Ahn Sang-ho, a figure suspected of 'Ko Jong (황제) poisoning,' sparking public outrage. In fact, it was confirmed that Ahn Sang-ho had joined the Daejeong Friendship Association, a traitorous organization to which Yi Wan-yong and others belonged. He was also revealed as the doctor who saved Yi Wan-yong's life after independence activist Lee Jae-myung attempted to assassinate him, leaving him in critical condition. Moreover, it came to light that Ahn Sang-ho married a Japanese woman through the matchmaking of Ku Yeon-su, a pro-Japanese collaborator, adding further shock. Ku Yeon-su was the person who supervised the process of pouring gasoline on Empress Myeongseong's body and setting it ablaze.

On top of this, allegations surfaced that Ahn Sang-ho's wife, Ha Young's great-great-grandmother, was the daughter of a Japanese Jo Seon (총독) division commander, and reports continued to emerge daily about shocking traitorous acts, including the fact that Ha Young's grandfather worked as a doctor at the National Sorokdo Hospital where human rights abuses against Hansen's disease patients occurred.

Amidst this, Ha Young has been fueling the controversy by consistently displaying disappointing behavior, from issuing false denials of 'baseless facts' regarding her great-great-grandfather's controversy to deleting a handwritten apology letter on Chinese social media, and now the 'tears' incident. The decision to proceed with filming "There Is a Chance" also drew public backlash, as she responded inappropriately by appealing to emotions, further stirring up the online community. This is precisely why she has faced fierce backlash for persisting in an irresponsible attitude until the end.

Moreover, since it was revealed that filming was halted due to her 'tears'—not any other reason—Ha Young could not avoid the fatal controversy of being a 'burden on others' and engaging in 'abuse of power.' This stands in stark contrast to the actions of actors Kang Dong-won, Lee Ji-ah, and singer Jeon Beom-seon, who were previously identified as 'descendants of traitors.' Rather than rushing to manage the crisis, they have conveyed sincere apologies, confronted their ancestors' historical mistakes, and demonstrated their sincerity through actions in their respective positions. The fact that these efforts were recognized, and that no one else like Ha Young created a 'tears' issue, ultimately proves that we did not indiscriminately apply collective punishment to descendants of traitors. If descendants now correct their distorted historical understanding and fulfill their responsibilities, who would dare to throw stones? It is bitterly frustrating that only Ha Young seems unable to realize this.

Meanwhile, Ha Young has returned to filming "There Is a Chance." SBS, which produced the drama, recently issued an official statement: "'There Is a Chance' has already been filmed to a significant extent." The work is based on a Japanese drama and is scheduled for broadcast around March 1st next year, meaning Ha Young's risk factors are expected to continue.
