CNBLUE drummer Kang Min-hyuk [FNC Music]

CNBLUE drummer Kang Min-hyuk's appearance in the new season of Korean sitcom "High Kick" has been cancelled, according to his agency FNC Music on Friday.

FNC announced in a press release that Kang, who had met with producers of the show, will not be cast in third season of “High Kick” due to his upcoming busy schedule which will include him starring in a new MBC TV series titled "You Have Fallen For Me (translated title)" and preparing for CNBLUE's Asia tour during the latter half of this year.

"Director Kim Byung-wook, who has helmed the previous first two seasons of 'High Kick,' was interested in casting Kang," an official from FNC was quoted as saying. "However, it was hard to adjust CNBLUE's schedule since he would have be filming his drama on a daily basis."

Composed of other members Lee Jung-shin and Lee Jong-hyun, CNBLUE made their debut in Korea early last with their hit single "Alone" and mini-album "Bluetory" after releasing two singles in Japan.

They have made a successful return to the local music scene with their first full-length album "FIRST STEP," which, sold over 150,000 copies in Korea alone and saw all 30,000 copies of its limited edition sold out in just a day of going on sale.

Meanwhile, the group is currently promoting the title track "LOVE GIRL” from their thank-you album "FIRST STEP +1(PLUS ONE).”

Outside of his group activities, Kang has appeared on both the small and big screen before including in daily series "I'm Okay Daddy" and omnibus film "Acoustic."
