Why Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok haven't joined Resident Playbook cast in Bali yet? Delayed plans revealed
Resident Playbook concluded two weeks ago, after a successful run globally. It dropped its final episodes on May 17 and 18 and broadcasted a special episode on May 24. Following that, the cast was rewarded with a 7-day team retreat to spend time together, bond better. However, Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok couldn't travel with the others due to their packed schedule. According to a May 30 report by K-media Sports Chosun, they are now set out to join the team.
When is the Bali retreat and what is it about?
Jung Jun Won, Han Ye Ji, Shin Shi Ah and most of the other cast and crew of Resident Playbook are currently enjoying a peaceful vacation in Bali, Indonesia. They reportedly departed on May 26 KST and were set to spend 7 nights and 8 days in the picturesque location, heading back on June 2.
Regarding the aim of the retreat, the production team of tvN drama stated, "It is not a reward vacation for all the cast and staff, but a trip for teamwork purposes." If the retreat is intended for team-building, it raises a valid question as to why Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok weren't initially able to participate with the rest of the cast.
Why did Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok not travel with the team?
The two beloved OB-GYN residents of the Hospital Playlist spin-off were unable to join the rest of the cast initially due to their individual projects. After completing their personal schedules, Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok are now set to join the team trip. On May 30, the latter's side revealed, "Actor Kang Yoo Seok recently departed for Bali." Go Yoon Jung will also reportedly board a flight to Bali through Incheon International Airport on the same day.
Go Yoon Jung and Kang You Seok's latest projects
Kang Yoo Seok, who portrays the sunshiney character, Um Jae Il, a former idol turned OB-GYN resident, had to fit in a 2-night, 3-day visit amidst filming for his upcoming drama Seocho-dong. Go Yoon Jung, who portrays Oh Yi young, a warm-hearted OB-GYN resident, had to wrap up advertisement shoots and other commitments before joining the Resident Playbook team in Bali.

Why K-pop Idols Are Avoiding ‘V' Sign Ahead Of South Korea's Presidential Election
Last Updated: With South Korea's presidential election scheduled for June 3, celebrities are extremely cautious about hand gestures to avoid controversy. As the South Korean presidential election nears, K-pop idols have become increasingly cautious about their hand gestures and poses amid rising controversy over political symbolism. The 21st presidential election in the country is set to take place on June 3 to replace Yoon Suk Yeol. Yeol was removed from his office for placing the country under martial law for six hours in December last year. The incident had led to widespread protests and criticism. Since then, South Korea has seen three acting presidents. Now, the country is preparing for an election to choose a new leader. With this, K-pop idols have started avoiding certain gestures and poses while making public appearances. On May 27, NMIXX's Bae flashed a 'V' sign during a YouTube livestream. She immediately realised and said, 'No! Don't do the V!" and held her head in distress. Sullyoon tried to smooth things over with a similar pose. As part of a challenge ending pose, she hesitantly made a 'V' sign. Worried about its possible political interpretations, she then quickly showed all numbers from one to five with her fingers instead, as reported by AllKpop. The precautions come as the sign is linked to the conservative People Power Party in South Korea. The gesture can be seen as a symbol of support, since the party is represented by 'number 2" on the ballot and the colour red. As a result, celebrities have been extra cautious, fearing that their gestures could be misinterpreted as a political endorsement. The boy group, Tomorrow X Together (TXT), was also captured making a neutral pose in a photo shared on their social media. The five-membered group, which is typically seen making the 'V' gesture as a popular greeting among many K-pop groups, clenched their fists as they posed for the camera. Similarly, during a group photo on their May 24 YouTube live broadcast, members of the virtual group PLAVE were also seen carefully folding their fingers while posing. ZEROBASEONE's Kim Tae Rae hurriedly edited a picture after he posed with a 'V' sign, and even RIIZE's Shotaro had to quickly change his pose upon realising that he made the same sign. The South Korean presidential elections are typically held in the winter. However, due to the incident linked to Yeol, the schedule has been moved up, leading to an early election this year.
