Kim Hyun Joong’s new series will not air on major TV networks

The new drama series City Conquest, which stars Kim Hyun Joong, will not air on any of the three major TV networks in Korea (KBS, MBC, and SBS). On December 14, a staff member from the Drama Department at KBS reported, “KBS has recently decided not to air City Conquest. Media Baek, the production company of City Conquest, recently expressed its intention to air the series on KBS. We’ve considered it from various angles, but we’ve decided that the series doesn’t suit KBS and have declined it.”
Some of officials from the broadcasting industry say, “The producers of City Conquest have also expressed their intention to air the series on MBC and SBS, but those networks have also decided not to schedule the series on their channels. The reason given is that the content and the production cost of the series are not acceptable to them. As far as we know, the shooting of the series has been stopped.”
City Conquest is an action drama series about Baek Mir (played by Kim Hyun Joong) taking revenge on the society that has ruined him and his family. The series has attracted a lot of attention because of the casting of Kim, Jung Yumi, Nam Goong Min, Kim Seung Woo, Kim Young Ho, Kim Hee Won, Park Hyo Joon, and Choi Chul Ho.
