After her one year hiatus, actress Han Ye Seul will be starring in an 8 billion won ($7 million) movie titled “The Dog.”

In the film, the actress will be portraying a scientist who tries to capture an escaped dog that was infected by an alien. “The Dog” will be directed by Shin Jung Won, whose past works include this year’s “Fortune Tellers” and “To Catch a Virgin Ghost” in 2004.

This will mark Han Ye Seul’s first comeback into the limelight in nearly a year after a scuffle over the drama “Spy Myung Wol”. The scandal surrounding the series was due to Han Ye Seul protesting the treatment of herself and the staff within the Korean entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, “The Dog” also cast Uhm Tae Woong who will play the role of a gangster who dotes after a fighting dog that is infected by a new strand virus.

Actress Han Ye Seul will open a Korean coffee franchise, Caffe Bene, in Los Angeles.

On March 21st, the coffee retailer announced that the U.S.-born actress is currently in the process of undertaking construction work on a building she owns to get ready for the opening of the cafe.

Han Ye Seul’s shop will be the first Caffe Bene in southern California and is set to open sometime in the next three months.

Han and actor Song Seung Hun have been the faces of the cafe for four years. On February 21, the coffee retailer announced that Hallyu star Jang Geun Suk had been recruited to promote the brand as it gears itself up for the global market.

“Han actually asked us if she could open a store in Los Angeles as she is passionate about seeing the brand grow and expand into foreign markets,” a Caffe Bene spokesperson said.

On February 1, the first Caffe Bene store in the United States opened its doors in Times Square, New York.

KBS said that the KBS drama "Spy MyeongWol" will finish with a total of eighteen episodes, and they apologized to viewers for a recent broadcasting problem.

KBS officially apologized for a broadcasting problem of "Spy MyeongWol" caused by actress Han Ye-seul on August 16. They also revealed, "We will try to minimize the problems of drama production by adopting an understudy actress for Han Ye-seul, and we will try to keep our promise with viewers by finishing the drama until the end of the episode". A head of the KBS drama production department, Ko Young Tak, appeared at the press conference held at KBS in Yeoyuido, and said, "We will find out a new actress who can replace Han Ye-seul after discussing it with the drama production company. We concluded that finding an understudy actress would be the best solution to keep the promise with viewers, and we will excuse other cast members and staff members before we find a replacement actress. But actually casting an understudy actress at this moment will be really difficult. We have prepared the script until the thirteenth episode, and we will try our best not to cause any problems for broadcasting next week even though it totally depends on how fast we can find a new actress". He finally confirmed, "We originally planned to produce the drama with a total of eighteen episodes, and there will be no change in our plan".

"Spy MyeongWol" could not air its eleventh episode on August 15 as the female protagonist of the drama, Han Ye-seul, did not participate in filming without prior notice. KBS aired its eleventh episode on August 16 after editing its footage that had been filmed in advance. But whether it can broadcast the twelfth episode or not is unclear, as there is yet no understudy actress for Han Ye-seul at this time. The chief producer of "Spy MyeongWol", Jeong Seong-hyo, said about replacing the actress, "We could have simply taken the character 'Myung Wol' out of the drama, but 'Myung Wol' is the protagonist of the drama, and if we produced the drama without the protagonist, it might be considered breaking a promise with viewers. We think that the story of the drama is more important than the actress Han Ye-seul and we think that finishing the drama with its original storyline will be the best, even though viewers might be confused due to the change of the actress". Ko Young Tak also said, "We have never imagined that an actress's boycott of the participation in filming could cause the trouble in broadcasting. This incident is unprecedentedly momentous negligence. Due to an actress's unreasonable behavior, the drama has reached the important situation of breaking a promise with viewers. Han Ye-seul's behavior is a unilateral decision and it is completely irresponsible, which is unpardonable for any reason. Even though the process of drama production is really tough and difficult, her irresponsible behavior should be blamed anyway".

The executive producer, Lee Kang-hyeon, concluded that Han Ye-seul's behavior has nothing to do with an improvised script or tight filming schedule. Lee said, "Compared to other dramas, the filming schedule for this drama was not tight at all, and the script was prepared in bookbinding in advance before filming. In particular, we provided convenience to Han Ye-seul by letting her take one or two days off for her personal schedule. Other cast members had difficulties due to her unpredictable personal schedule. Despite all this, Han Ye-seul, who is the protagonist of the drama, has always asked to reduce the filming schedule. Her insistence that she refuse to participate in filming due to troubles with production staff members is not be acceptable at all. Her insistence is considered to be her unilateral decision and her own excuse".

A netizen who seems to be Han Ye-seul's hairstylist posted a writing.

Claiming she is Han Ye-seul's hair staff, she posted words of disappointment on her Twitter on the 17th.

She said, "I just can't believe this situation as someone who has seen her up close and did her hair for a long time. The people who say bad things about her, are you really going to believe what the people who don't even know her say rather than those who are close to her? If that's true, how honest are the people in the entertainment business to make someone work all through the night and stress them out and then write reports to their favor? They kept her up for 2 weeks and when she crawled back home she laid her head to rest on the sofa for a bit and woke up late. She got ready quickly and went on site. If the director did have any common sense, shouldn't he have been shooting a scene which doesn't involve her while waiting? But he didn't and just wasted time and the actress who suffered from this became a rude senseless person in a second. There is no human consideration here".

She continued, "As a woman, isn't it weird to see that she actually managed to stay up 3~4 nights without passing out? This isn't respecting a human as a human but taking advantage of the celebrity title and treating her like a slave, then this happens and they act like they're the victims. I do but I don't get the staff as well. Maybe they didn't have a choice but to sign the statement but how could you do that after having gone through the same pain she did?"

To end she said, "Does being a celebrity mean not being late, not being sick, fainting where there are many people, knowing that the public can turn their backs on her anytime and living the way people want her to live? I learnt through "Spy MyeongWol". If you are too honest, too suppressing and not as mean as the people who treat you like that, you become like Han Ye-seul. Do you really think she did this because she was just tired?"

Meanwhile, Han Ye-seul who left for America after refusing to cooperate with the KBS 2TV drama "Spy MyeongWol" expressed she will return to Korea soon.
