Actress Ahn Ha-Young Exits The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call Follow-up Seasons Amid Controversy Surrounding Her Great-Grandfather

Netflix said Ha Young will skip the next season after backlash over comments about her great-grandfather’s colonial-era activities.

  • On Tuesday, Netflix confirmed that actor Ahn Ha-young will not appear in the next season of 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' with the platform stating it is 'respecting the actor's position' regarding her withdrawal.
