1. [+452, -23] Jung Yonghwa really wanted this role and even said so himself at his concert that he was really looking forward to the drama... This is another case of what happened with FNC and Gentleman's Class. They tried to add another package deal with another FNC idol instead of Yonghwa but the production company decided to just cut Yonghwa out completely than deal with them. FNC is way too greedy.

2. [+484, -100] Since when was Yonghwa ever on a level to be "working out opinions" with producers? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ on top of that, with a Kim Eun Sook drama? Funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's great that he didn't take the role but the situation itself is funny. Even top stars are begging for a chance to be in a Kim Eun Sook drama but some nobody like Yonghwa thinks he's worth something enough to 'balance' stuff with ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+404, -49] There are a ton of more talented male actors than him, why are they using him...

4. [+52, -17] So he's on the level of trying to control his own character now?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+43, -18] You sure he wasn't cut because of his acting skills? You sure he declined? You sure?????? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even crappy actors like Yonghwa have choices in matters, it seems.

6. [+43, -7] After a while, I just stopped watching dramas completely and I've come to realize that it was around the time idols started being cast.

7. [+43, -21] Even if he took the role, it would do nothing good for his career. Such a huge height difference between him and Lee Min Ho and he'll only exacerbate rumors between him and Park Shin Hye.

8. [+39, -5] I think the first best reply is on point. Even during 'Secret Garden', Jang Hyuk was the original male lead but his company tried to include another labelmate actor as a package deal but the producers just dropped the fuss and went with Hyun Bin. Kim Eun Sook is known to hate package deals. FNC should learn that this doesn't work with every drama and every scriptwriter, especially considering that Yonghwa isn't nearly on the level of an actor to be making such demands.

9. [+32, -2] Sounds more like FNC tried to lay down a few more labelmate castings alongside Yonghwa as well as demands for OST rights. They had a lot of fun in Gentleman's Class with such demands...

10. [+23, -8]  ㅋㅋㅋ Does Yonghwa think he's on the level of Won Bin, Hyun Bin, and Jang Dong Gun to be making demands ㅋㅋㅋ
