Park Yu Na is reportedly cast as main lead. She will play Han Gyu Yeong, the younger sister of Han Gyu Rim, a character portrayed by EXID’s Hani (Ahn He Yeon).
MBC Plus drama and official title is ‘My Idol, My Debut’
Centered around the world of idols, the series features a unique structure in which the stories of the characters and teams in the drama extend into real-world music releases and stage performances. In particular, MBC PLUS’s flagship K-pop music program “Show! Champion” will appear as a key setting within the drama, drawing further attention.
“My Idol, My Debut” proposes a new content format where the narrative naturally connects with real-life music activities, as the characters in the drama expand into real-world artists. Rather than simply consuming a story, viewers are designed to directly experience how the on-screen narrative continues into real-life activities. From the planning stage, the project was structured with the drama at its core, linking music and fandom into one integrated system. It aims to go beyond traditional drama production, offering an immersive experience where the storyline leads into real activities and fan engagement.
The drama is preparing for a July premiere, with plans to gradually reveal its main cast and various content.
Son Suk Ku, Ha Jung Woo, Ji Chang Wook, Hyun Bong Sik and Seo Hyeon Woo all confirmed for the Netflix movie ‘The Generals’.
Characters: Son Suk Ku plays Roh Tae Woo, a lifelong second-in-command. The film will dramatically depict his complex and nuanced inner world as he transitions from being remembered solely as the friend and subordinate of Chun Doo Hwan to finally achieving his long-held dream of becoming the top leader.
Ha Jung Woo plays Chun Doo Hwan. Although Chun Doo-hwan has been portrayed in various films and dramas, attention is already focused on how Ha Jung-woo will bring his own unique presence to the character.
Ji Chang Wook plays Heo Hak Sung, a junior from the Korea Military Academy whom Roh Tae Woo regards as a thorn in his side.
Hyun Bong Sik plays Jung Ho Jung, a contemporary and friend of both Roh and Chun.
Seo Hyun Woo plays Park Cheol Woong, a prosecutor in the public security division of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office and an aide to Roh Tae Woo.
The movie is produced by the companies behind works such as the Netflix series Narco-Saints and films like “The Match,” as well as other notable projects including “Cross,” “Revolver,” and “Hunt.”
The 5th episode recorded a nationwide rating of 10.6% and a rating of 10.9% in the metropolitan area. It topped the Friday evening program ratings overall. The peak viewership soared to 13.7%.
Kang Dong Won is reportedly set to play the male lead.
A representative from his agency confirmed, “It is true that he has received an offer for ‘Tobeol’ and is currently reviewing it.”
In addition to Kang Dong-won as the male lead, the film is currently reaching out to a female lead actress in her 20s–30s. Another major role has also been offered to a well-known actor, who is reviewing the script.
The production company AD406 is leading the project, while Showbox—which has recently delivered consecutive box office hits such as “The Man Who Lives with the King”, “What If We”, and “Salmokji”—is reportedly in talks to invest and distribute.
Jo Yu Ri and Kim Dong Hwi have reportedly been cast as secondary leads in “Love Virus”.
Jo Yu Ri will play Im Mia, a criminal hunter. At a moment when she wants to take revenge on a world she despises, she meets the seemingly perfect lawyer Ha Do Un (Jung Hae In) and begins to dream of “true” love.
Kim Dong Hwi will transform into YouTuber Woo Dong Seok. Though he lacks knowledge, his bright personality and friendliness make him appealing. With a certain charming naivety, he wins over the heart of dentist Kang Chae Rin (Shin Se Kyung).
The central couple will be played by Jung Hae In and Shin Se Kyung.
Yoo Seung Ho confirmed to make a special appearance. He will play Yoo Sung Won, the youngest son of a media conglomerate family and a sculptor. Through a gathering of third-generation chaebol heirs, Yoo Sung Wonforms a brother-like relationship—both older and younger—with Jin I Su, and is set to share on-screen chemistry with Ahn Bo Hyun.
He plays Oh Seung Eop, a man from North Korea. He once dreamed of having a job that makes money but failed, and ended up making a living selling holograms. One day, he discovers an astonishingly well-made counterfeit 50,000-won bill, and his once-stagnant life begins to move again.
Park Soo Oh will reportedly play the youngest sibling.
Kim Ji Eun and Cha Hak Yeon were previously cast as the eldest daughter and second son, respectively, and were confirmed by the production team, completing the ‘three siblings’ lineup with Park Soo Oh as the youngest.
Shin Jae Ha was initially set to play the second son, but he chose another project and is said to be starring in “Office Worker Who Sees Fate” instead.
