The immensely popular “Goong – Sassy Princess” is scheduled to begin shooting its sequel in October. However, it was still unclear whether the original leads will continue their performance. On the 15th, when director Hwang Inroe accepted an interview, he finally revealed and confirmed that “Goong II” will have an entirely new cast. The four leads Ju Ji Hoon, Yoon Eun Hye, Kim Jung Hoon and Song Ji Hyo will not participate in the sequel.

Although many fans of “Goong” were filled with anticipation for the confirmation of the four leads, but they will have to be disappointed. Hwang Inroe, who is responsible for the shooting of “Goong II”, expressed: “Both Ju Ji Hoon and Song Ji Hyo have decided to do another work. Yoon Eun Hye has another reason, but the three of them have told me that they were unable to film the sequel. Only Kim Jung Hoon has promised to accept it. Therefore “Goong II” will be shown to the viewers with an entirely new cast as well as a different plot.” Regarding the fact that he has to prepare four new people to take up these characters, Hwang Inroe could hardly conceal that he feels abandoned.

Hwang Inroe indicated that “Goong II” will continue with the theme of a fictional South Korean monarchy, showing how tradition and the present can co-exist together. The plot will also be tied to the first series. The ending of “Goong” revealed that ultimately Lee Shin and Lee Yul didn’t inherit the throne, leading to the temporarily ascension of Shin’s sister Hyemyeong. The sequel will thus continue with this plot as the palace discovers the existence of a royal grandson living among commoners. In turns out that he have absolutely no clue about his identity. After he graduated from high school, he works as a delivery boy. He didn’t know until the palace invited him to come and he suddenly became a member of the imperial family in one night. Upon his entrance in the palace, he began his training. He will be groomed to become emperor. The inspiration for this plot came from the true story of the Joseon dynasty where a commoner became the emperor.

Currently, the drama team of “Goong II” is building a new scenery nearby Hwaseong, Suwon. They are also diligently trying out different filming angles. After the new leads are confirmed begin October, they will immediately start filming. It will then be broadcasted next year in January.

I hope Goong part 2 will have the same characters and if they change it,I don't think it will be good.Many people like the characters in part 1 and it will not be very interesting.

At first I didn't like that the original cast was not coming back. But maybe it's a good thing because if it turned out awful than it would be like another Meteor Garden. Actually I'm looking forward to a new cast.

i think he's making a wrong decision by filming a sequel without the original cast members. might as well name it something else then. it's no longer a sequel but just another series with a similar synopsis. i really wanted to see the whole cast again. too bad =/

aww... i was looking forward for the same cast. since its a sequal i would want them to be the same people. Like in how goong ended. It would just seem odd for them to change cast. But oh well. I hope this sequal is as good or better than the first one!

Aaarrrgghhh! smilie.GIF: I can't believe that the original cast is not participating. shock.gif: Like everyone else said, I want to see how they will raise the baby and how their marriage life would be. Not only that, I was hoping that yul will find a new love and be happy. I'm sad to hear this. down.gif: Replacing the old cast, might as well replace the name. I don't know if this will be like the first sequel because it took the original cast to make it what it was. I'm really disappointed, but I think that I will still watch it, just to see what happens.
