Singer and actor Wooz, who declined to appear in the Japan-South Korea co-production film 'Tamako' centered on atomic bombs, reassured fans who were shocked by casting reports.

On the 27th, during a live broadcast on his fan communication platform, Wooz said, "I felt I should speak up since you might be curious," adding, "I think many of you must have had a bad day."

Wooz explained, "I received the script, became aware of its content, and carefully informed my company. After much deliberation, I declined. The reports came out during that process."

He added, "I am sorry for the commotion surrounding this issue," but also noted, "Neither I nor the company had taken any action yet, so we could not speak immediately."

Wooz stated, "I saw SNS posts and my heart was troubled by fans' worried voices. I wanted to speak up quickly, but yesterday there were performances as well," and assured them, "We did not overlook the concerns many have raised. Please do not worry."

'Tamako' tells the story of a Japanese boy who lost his parents to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945, followed him to Korea with Zainichi Koreans, and experienced the Korean War.

Previously, a recent media outlet reported that singer Wooz (Jo Seung-yeon), actress Shim Eun-kyung, and Japanese actor Ando Sakura would appear in the film.

However, regarding this matter, an EDAM Entertainment representative representing Wooz told StarNews, "Wooz was offered a role in the film but ultimately declined after careful consideration."

Shim Eun-kyung's agency also confirmed that she refused the offer.
