Five Fingers at Jidam Inc. |
Five Fingers (Hangul: 다섯손가락) is a 2012 weekend series from Seoul Broadcasting System starring Ju Ji-hoon as a pianist who wreaks revenge on the family that tried to destroy his dreams.
Accusations of plagiarism were made by the author of novel Blood Rhapsody, which the production denied.
Ham Eun-jung was initially cast as the female lead Hong Da-mi, and she had already appeared in the promotional teasers and stills, as well as attended the press conference. But due to the negative publicity stemming from T-ara's bullying controversy, the production fired her and replaced her with Jin Se-yeon. Ham filed a lawsuit against the producers, and the Corea Entertainment Management Association (CEMA) issued a boycott against the production company Yein E&M (now known as Jidam Inc.). In February 2013 Yein E&M issued a formal apology for firing Ham without notice.
