Four leads leaving 'Goong': new formation to be arranged for sequelThe immensely popular 'Goong - Princess Hours' 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 havetold 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.Source: ycwb.comCredits: black eyed susan @http://ent-you.blogspot.com and jnccrs@soompiI hope this is the real one.

Yup, the guy on the upper left is Se7en, not too sure about the rest though.
But i bet they'll be great.
I won't deny that it won't be the same without the original cast but
since it's gonna be a different plot i guess we should give a try right?
Can't wait to see it!
Well, Shid, i guess we can cry together that Kim Jeong Hoon/Yul won't be in it.

Well, we can live with that right?
Oh, and did you notice that it's
