On April 3, Lee Mi Sook’s agency explained, “It has been decided that she will not be starring in ‘Secret Boutique.'” They clarified, “She is not stepping down; she is declining [the offer,]” to address reports that Lee Mi Sook was stepping down from the drama due to the mental burden from her involvement with Jang Ja Yeon’s case.
The drama will tell the story of Jenny Jang, a self-made woman who becomes the successful owner of a boutique, which is actually a small law firm that helps settle the matters of the upper class privately. However, Jenny Jang aspires to become the owner of Deo Company someday.
Meanwhile, Kim Sun Ah and Kim Jae Young have been confirmed to star in the drama which is expected to broadcast in July with Kim Sun Ah as the role of Jenny Jang.
