Kim Poong took to his Instagram, posting a cryptic story, saying, “I will go insane,” followed by a long, ironic expression of him laughing as if exhibiting the state of “going insane” he was already at.

Kim Poong’s frustration is fueled by the K-drama History of Losers, which he wrote the original webtoon for and already wrapped filming in 2022.

Despite the filming process being completed, the drama got initially shelved afterward because the lead actor, Jo Byung Gyu, got entangled in a school violence controversy.

Jo Byung Gyu cleared his name and even made his successful acting comeback with The Uncanny Counter 2. With these new developments, anticipation for History of Losers finally seeing the light of day was at an all-time high.
But these hopes were squashed once again when Song Ha Yoon, the show’s lead actress, was involved in similar accusations. With the actress admitting that she had to transfer schools due to her involvement in a school bullying incident, the show’s fate has yet again been sabotaged.
It would take another year for History of Losers to see its broadcast, airing on Wavve. When the K-Drama aired, Song Ha Yoon was removed from the lead actors lineup and instead listed as a supporting actress, as well as she had her role edited out of the K-Drama as much as possible.
