Actor Jung Hae-in has begun promoting the Netflix original series 'This Awful Love.'
On August 10, Jung posted on his social media with the caption "Jang Tae-ha" and tagged the series.
'This Awful Love' is a romantic comedy that follows elite prosecutor Go Eun-sae, played by Ha-young, who suffers from amnesia, and her self-proclaimed boyfriend, boxing coach Jang Tae-ha, portrayed by Jung Hae-in, as they navigate a precarious cohabitation in a small rural town known as 'Yeo Village.'
Meanwhile, on the same day, Ha-young revealed during an appearance on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Problematic Men' that her great-grandfather was the first doctor in Korea to study Western medicine in Japan. The production team introduced him with the subtitle 'He also treated Emperor Gojong.'
Ha-young also shared that her grandfather, father, and sister are all doctors, highlighting a four-generation legacy in the medical field.
Following the broadcast, it was reported that Ha-young's great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, practiced medicine during the Japanese colonial period, sparking controversy online regarding his actions. Ha-young's agency, Visters Entertainment, confirmed that Ahn Sang-ho is indeed her great-grandfather but stated that the allegations circulating online are unfounded.
