This case made everything adjustable including his leading movies and other work that seemed to have nothing to do with him. The productions are concerned about eliminating any more talk about the case which might influence negativity on completed works.

Lee Byung-hun and Jeon Do-yeon's "Memories of the Sword" which was due this December, has been postponed to January. "The Shameless" which was recently completed, is also uncertain of its release date. Initially, the movie was due for released in January or February, but now seems like it could be March or April.

The actress starring in both these movies is Jeon Do-yeon. She's been in a unique position since starring in "Way Back Home" but has become a victim of a situation that has nothing to do with her. Due to the fact that the success rate is low when two movies are released at similar times, "The Shameless" is trying its best to avoid overlapping "Memories of the Sword".

"Memories of the Sword" is a major film that cost 10 billion in production alone. Even if "The Shameless" is competitive enough with its fresh sources, competing against a major film like that will disperse attention and build concerns.

A source claimed, ""The Shameless" luckily hadn't confirmed a date in the first place so it's still got time. Many are worried that it might create more issues".

Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun departed for the US for his California Tourism promotional events and Hollywood film discussion. Without a returning date, Lee Byung-hun has been required to attend the second trial on the 11th of November.
