cenes of upcoming flick “Lucid Dream,” featuring Park Yoo-chun, once embroiled in a scandal of rape allegations, will not be edited, according to distributor Next Entertainment World Wednesday.
“Lucid Dream” had eyed a fall release, but the date for release has been postponed. Some news reports speculated that Park‘s rape allegation -- of which he was acquitted in July -- had forced the producers to delay the release and edit his part out.
The report by Sports Chosun on Wednesday cited a production staff member’s remark that admitted such speculations were the cause for concern.

“Park’s case forced us to rearrange the best date for release,” the source was quoted as saying by Sports Chosun. “The role played by Park is crucial for the story line. It was impossible to strip his part out. We had to wait until Park was free from the charge and reschedule the date.”
The fantasy-thriller will open in theaters in Korea on Jan. 4, according to the source, but the source added room for change of the date still exists.
“Lucid Dream” was Park’s last film work before he joined the military as a public service officer for his compulsory service. The cast were on set for two months from April 2015.
“Lucid Dream” will revolve around the struggle of a man who lost his son three years prior to find evidence of the son’s death through lucid dreaming.
