It has been confirmed that Fan Bingbing, the famous Chinese actress who has been at the center of global issues while embroiled in various controversies and rumors, will be making a special appearance in a Korean drama.

According to a February 20 The Fact report, Fan Bingbing recently appeared as a cameo in the drama 'Insider' that is scheduled to air on the JTBC network. Fan Bingbing is garnering much interest for her visit to Korea and her cameo appearance in the Korean drama since she has once caused a big controversy in China.

Another broadcasting official also confirmed that Fan Bingbing will be appearing in a Korean drama and stated, "I know that Fan Bingbing is staying in Korea after filming the drama. The filming was conducted in a way that no outsider was allowed to enter the film site." The official continued to elaborate, "The authority to cast actors rests with the production company or the chief producer, but we can't confirm at this time how Fan Bingbing decided to appear in this drama."

The production team of the JTBC drama also admitted that Fan Bingbing made a special appearance in the drama 'Insider.' In a phone call with The Fact, a member of the production team stated, "It's true that Fan Bingbing made a special appearance in the drama.
