Actress Hwang Jung-eum and actor No Min-woo will temporarily hold off on their decision to star in the sequel to 2004 smash hit TV series "Full House."

A press release by the two's agency Core Contents Media said the decision comes due to their difference in opinion with the show's producer.

"We are still talking with the producer but the characters Hwang and No are supposed to play don't go with their images," read the statement.

The original series, starring singer-actor Jung Ji-hoon and actress Song Hye-kyo, was based on 16-volume comic series by Won Soo-yeon which was popular among Korean readers from when it started to be published in 1994.

No, who debuted in 2004, made his name known more recently through TV series "Pasta" (MBC, 2010) and "Midas" (SBS, 2011).

Hwang, debuted as a singer in 2002 but gained recognition after appearing in MBC reality show "We are Married" in 2009 with her boyfriend Kim Yong-joon of male group SG Wannabe.

Her last acting gig was in MBC TV series "Listen to My Heart" this year with actors Kim Jae-won and Namgung Min.
