Filming for "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call 2" is scheduled to begin in October. The series played a key role in establishing Ha Young as one of the industry's rising stars. With the major cast members returning for Season 2, Ha Young will also reprise her role as nurse Cheon Jang-mi.

Attention is now focused on Netflix's response. Ha Young mentioned her great-grandfather and family history during an entertainment program to promote the Netflix series "Our Sticky Love". Her remarks brought her great-grandfather's alleged pro-Japanese activities to public attention, sparking intense controversy. Netflix has not taken any significant action in response. "Our Sticky Love", which has already been released worldwide, continues to perform well and rank highly, while Netflix has only refrained from releasing promotional content featuring Ha Young.

Some have questioned whether Netflix is being overly cautious in handling the situation. The same issue applies to the filming of "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" Season 2. Barring any major changes, filming is expected to proceed as scheduled in October, while Netflix has yet to make any notable move.

Although Ha Young issued an official apology two days after the controversy erupted, public anger has yet to subside. Instead, additional allegations concerning her family history have continued to surface. If filming for "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" 2 proceeds as planned, the production is expected to face significant repercussions from the controversy surrounding her great-grandfather's alleged pro-Japanese activities.

Meanwhile, on the 12th, Ha Young acknowledged and apologized for her great-grandfather's actions, saying, "Through this incident, I personally looked into the relevant materials and learned about my great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities. I regret that I casually spoke about my family history without properly understanding the painful history our country endured during the Japanese colonial period".

However, the controversy has continued after new information emerged alleging that her great-grandfather, Ahn Sang-ho, was among those listed on a committee preparing a memorial for Ito Hirobumi, among other alleged pro-Japanese activities.
