The drama "Big Things" that has drawn attention for being Kwon Sang-woo and Ko Hyeon-jeong's television rendezvous is in danger of being abandoned, as the completion has been pushed back.

A representative of "Big Things" said, "Ko Hyeon-jeong delivered an ultimatum to the drama producers about an appearance in a movie. The decision will be out shortly". Ko Hyeon-jeong has been preparing for the next work because "Big Things" was planned to air in July.

But in the producing stages of the drama, the director changed and the drama went through complications. The completion has been changed to November, and because of plans for her next work, she requested the producing companies for an answer.

This representative said, "Ko Hyeon-jeong's side told us that they were considering a movie that starts filming later this year. They asked us to be specific about several cases".

G&G Entertainment (CEO: Jeong, Keuk-Pyo) said on December 5, "We sealed an agreement last November 21 with TSG Production, the owner of The Legend, regarding the production and airing of the animation The Legend on TV and in theaters".
