Filming for Kim Soo Hyun's new Disney+ series Knock Off has completely stopped, and no one knows when—or if—it will continue.

On April 23, SPOTV News reported that the Knock Off production team told actors and staff that filming is now on hold indefinitely. The drama’s release had already been delayed earlier, and now even filming has come to a standstill.

Knock Off is a big-budget drama about a man whose life totally changes after the IMF crisis. He goes from being a regular office worker to the king of the fake luxury goods market.

With top star Kim Soo Hyun in the lead and plans for multiple seasons, it was expected to be one of Disney+’s biggest global projects for 2025.

But things took a sharp turn when Kim Soo Hyun got caught up in a major controversy involving actress Kim Sae Ron.

Kim Soo Hyun and his team have strongly denied these claims. But despite that, the backlash hasn’t gone away.

With the scandal still making headlines, the Knock Off team officially announced, “After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone the release of Knock Off indefinitely.”

At first, there were quiet talks about finishing the drama. Since filming was nearly done, and the final script for episode 18 was already completed, some hoped the schedule could be adjusted. But recently, the team made the decision to stop filming entirely for now.

Some actors and crew members who had been waiting have now moved on to other projects.

Still, people close to the project say it’s too early to say it’s canceled forever. Whether Knock Off will resume depends on how things go with Kim Soo Hyun’s legal battle.

He has filed a 12 billion won (around $9 million USD) lawsuit against the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute for spreading false stories and revealing private photos and messages.

What happens next will decide the fate of Knock Off—and Kim Soo Hyun’s drama comeback.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
