On the 20th, Fan Bingbing recently appeared as a cameo in JTBC's drama "Insider" (produced by Ace Factory JTBC Studio). Given that Fan Bingbing is once a "main figure" who caused a big stir in China, attention is being paid to the background of his cameo appearance in Korea and Korean dramas. This is the first time Fan Bingbing has appeared in a Korean drama.
A broadcaster, who asked for anonymity, admitted to secretly appearing in the Korean drama Insider earlier this year to reporters who were tracking Fan Bingbing's top secret rumors in Korea. JTBC's ambitious work, Insider, is a drama starring Kang Ha-neul and Lee Yoo-young, and most of the filming is currently completed and is scheduled to air in the second half of this year after working on the second half.
Another broadcasting official, B, also said, "I know that Fan Bingbing is staying in Korea after filming the drama." He said, "The filming was carried out in a form where outsiders could not come in," adding, "The authority to cast actors lies with the production company or the CP, but it is difficult to confirm at the moment why Fan Bingbing appeared in the drama."
The production crew of JTBC drama "Insider" also admitted that Fan Bingbing made a special appearance. The production team of Insider replied, "It is true that Fan Bingbing made a special appearance in Insider." However, regarding the background or role of the special appearance in the drama, he said, "Please understand that I cannot answer specific details for various reasons."
Fan Bingbing has already returned to his work through the Hollywood film 355 (Director Simon Keenberg). The movie 355 featured Hollywood stars such as Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruise, and Lupinan Nyongo, while Fan Bingbing plays the role of Chinese agent Lin Mishyung in the play. The movie was released in the United States on January 7 and in Korea on February 9 this year after delaying its release in the aftermath of COVID-19.
