Singer Wooz (Jo Seung-yeon) was reported to appear in a Japanese film centered on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, but has now clarified that he declined the role.

On the 28th, an EDAM Entertainment representative told StarNews, "Wooz received an offer to appear in the film but, after careful consideration, ultimately declined."

An official from Shim Eun-kyung's agency also stated, "Shim Eun-kyung was offered a role in the project but declined to participate."

Previously, recent media reports claimed that singer Wooz (Jo Seung-yeon), actress Shim Eun-kyung, and Japanese actor Ando Sakura would appear together in the Korea-Japan co-production film 'Tamako'.

'Tamako' is reportedly a story about a boy who lost his parents to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, then moved to Korea with a Zainichi Korean and experienced the Korean War.

Controversy arose when it was reported that Wooz and Shim Eun-kyung would appear in a film dealing with the sensitive topic of the atomic bomb, but both have already declined.

Earlier, on the 27th, Wooz directly stated via a live broadcast that while he had indeed been offered a role in 'Tamako', he had already turned it down. He explained that after receiving the script, he learned it was about the atomic bomb and had decided not to participate.

An official from Shim Eun-kyung's agency also told StarNews on this day, "Shim Eun-kyung received an offer for the role but declined," confirming her refusal.
