Rumors spread quickly across the Korean entertainment industry this week, placing KBS 2TV's upcoming drama Another Romance under unexpected scrutiny. Reports claiming the production had run into serious problems sparked speculation online, but the broadcaster has now firmly rejected those claims, insisting that filming remains on schedule.

On July 23, a KBS official addressed the situation during a phone interview, stating that production on Another Romance is continuing as planned. According to the broadcaster, filming has been moving forward without any disruptions, directly pushing back against reports suggesting otherwise.


The controversy began after a mysterious document circulated within the broadcasting industry. The statement contained a series of accusations targeting KBS and several drama production companies. Among its claims was the allegation that filming for Another Romance had been suspended, fueling uncertainty among viewers eager for the drama's premiere later this year.

KBS quickly moved to calm the growing speculation. The network determined that the circulating document included numerous false claims and has begun discussing possible internal countermeasures. While rumors continued to gain traction online, filming reportedly proceeded through July 22, reinforcing the broadcaster's position that production has remained active.

Questions surrounding the origin of the document remain unanswered. Neither its author nor the authenticity of its contents has been verified, leaving many of the circulating allegations without supporting evidence. For now, KBS has chosen to keep its public response focused on the status of the drama itself rather than commenting on the wider claims contained in the document.

When asked about the broader allegations, the broadcaster declined to expand its position, explaining that it had no additional comment beyond confirming the ongoing production of Another Romance. That measured response leaves the investigation into the document's origins largely behind closed doors.

Despite the off-screen noise, anticipation for the series continues to build. Scheduled to premiere in the second half of the year, Another Romance tells the story of a couple celebrating their tenth year together as they unexpectedly confront unfamiliar emotions that challenge their long-standing relationship. Blending romance with grounded emotional storytelling, the drama aims to explore how love changes over time rather than relying on conventional romantic formulas.

The project also brings together a strong ensemble led by Seo Kang-joon and Ahn Eun-jin, joined by Lee Joo-an and Jo A-ram. With filming reportedly continuing as planned, attention can gradually shift back to the cast and the story itself instead of the speculation that briefly threatened to overshadow the production.

For now, KBS has drawn a clear line. The broadcaster maintains there are no production issues affecting Another Romance, and until verified information suggests otherwise, the drama appears to be staying firmly on course for its expected release later this year.
