Actor Ha Young, engulfed in controversy over his great-grandfather's collaboration with Japan, will ultimately exit Netflix's "Severe Trauma Center."

On the 1st, it was officially confirmed that Ha Young would not appear in the sequel to Netflix's "Severe Trauma Center." A Netflix representative told StarNews on that day, "Out of respect for the actor's position, we have decided that actor Ha Young will not appear in the sequel to 'Severe Trauma Center'."

Ha Young's side, recently embroiled in controversy due to family-related risks, first informed the production team of "Severe Trauma Center" of their decision to exit the next season. The production team accepted this, finalizing Ha Young's departure.

As a result, Ha Young has mostly completed filming for SBS's "We Have a Chance" and will ultimately step down from his breakout hit, "Severe Trauma Center."

Meanwhile, last month, Ha Young introduced on KBS 2TV's variety program "Problem Children in the Attic" and others that he comes from a family of doctors spanning four generations, revealing that his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and older sister are all physicians.

Subsequently, it was revealed through online communities that Ha Young's great-grandfather was Ahn Sang-ho (1872–1927), and as his past actions were re-examined, the controversy over collaboration with Japan spread.

On the 12th, Ha Young posted a handwritten apology on his social media regarding his great-grandfather Ahn Sang-ho's past actions. He stated, "Until now, I only knew about my great-grandfather's life through stories passed down by my family. Unfortunately, in my ignorance, I have spoken about him at various occasions as if he were a family pride." He continued, "Through this incident, while searching for relevant materials myself, I learned of my great-grandfather's collaborationist actions. I believe that the fact that I was unaware does not justify ignoring or treating lightly this history. I take this fault seriously and sincerely apologize as his descendant," bowing his head.
