Jung Suk-won recently told the "Hooray for Love" staff that he is stepping down. He shot the first episode but the staff's interpretation of the character and his was the reason he gave for stepping down.

His management said, "The nature of the character in the drama who was a married man with a child, lame and unfaithful was a little forcing on Jung Suk-won who is only in his 20s and it wasn't what we thought in the beginning".

Jung Suk-won was asked to star in this drama last May but as he was so busy with the movie he did with Rain and Shin Se-kyung, he had refused. However, due to the production's insistency he had accepted the request.

His management revealed, "We soon realized that the character in the script was different from the actual character when shooting so he shot the first episode but just like we worried, it didn't suit him. Therefore, under agreement with the production, he has decided to step down".

Jung Suk-won is planning on focusing on his movie "Soar into the Sun". "Jung Suk-won has received many love calls for projects due at the end of this year so he should decided on something soon".
