22 Feb - Rumours are rife that Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is set to appear in the upcoming Korean drama, "Insider".

As reported on Sina, some anonymous sources stated that the mainland star travelled to South Korea earlier this year for a guest appearance in the said series, which will be aired on JTBC.

The source stated, "I heard that Fan Bingbing stayed in South Korea after filming the drama. The casting decision is in the hands of the production company or the head producer. It's unknown as to why Fan is appearing in this drama."

On the other hand, another source, reportedly working for the said drama, stated that Fan is indeed appearing in the series, but that no specific details can be disclosed for the time being.

The upcoming series stars Kang Ha-Neul as a judicial apprentice who becomes involved in an unexpected case.

Meanwhile, Fan, who hasn't had a new project in mainland China since her tax evasion scandal in 2018, was last seen in the spy thriller "The 355".

Putin apologizes for 'tragic incident' but stops short of saying Azerbaijani plane was shot down
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he called a “tragic incident” following the crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that killed 38 people, but stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible. Putin's apology came as allegations mounted that the plane had been shot down by Russian air defenses attempting to deflect a Ukrainian drone strike near Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya. An official Kremlin statement issued Saturday said that air defense systems were firing near Grozny airport as the airliner “repeatedly” attempted to land there on Wednesday.
