Shin Ye Eun may be taking on the lead role in the upcoming drama “High School Queen” (literal title)! On February 26, Sports Chosun reported that Shin Ye Eun will star as the female lead in the new drama “High School Queen.” Her agency npio Entertainment responded, “She has received an offer to appear in the new drama ‘High School Queen’ and is currently reviewing it.” Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “High School Queen” follows Kim Chung Ha, the queen of Joseon and its greatest swordswoman, who is reincarnated as modern-day high school student Park Da Jin. Armed with her Joseon-era martial arts skills, she takes down school bullies, delivering a satisfying sense of catharsis. Previously, production company Studio Dragon shared, “We are developing ‘High School Queen’ as a long-form drama. While preserving the webtoon’s signature exhilarating action, we plan to further expand the romance that moves between the Joseon era and the present day.” The company also revealed plans to collaborate with CJ ENM to expand the IP into films, animation, and other content formats. Shin Ye Eun has been offered the lead role of Kim Chung Ha, a legendary Joseon warrior queen whose soul inhabits the body of high school student Park Da Jin. Meanwhile, Shin Ye Eun is preparing for the release of her upcoming ENA medical romantic comedy drama alongside Lee Jae Wook. Stay tuned for more updates!
An Woo Yeon Transforms Into A Self-Made Game Company CEO In New Medical Thriller Drama
TV CHOSUN’s upcoming weekend miniseries “Doctor Shin” (literal title) has unveiled the first stills of An Woo Yeon in character! “Doctor Shin” is a medical thriller that follows a brilliant doctor who pushes medicine beyond limits once considered the domain of God, and a woman whose brain is suddenly damaged overnight, causing her to gradually lose her soul. Centered on the unusual romance surrounding a top star who falls into a coma after a tragic accident—along with the man who once loved her and the man who still loves her—the drama unfolds a bold narrative that explores love and desire, taboo and sacrifice. An Woo Yeon plays Ha Yong Joong, a successful game developer. Ha Yong Joong is the CEO of a game company who became self-made by creating a game that became a mega hit in record time. He is a character with sensible charisma, sophisticated looks, and a warm, thoughtful personality. The stills show Ha Yong Joong with a confident, bright smile as the CEO of a game company. He smiles at a meal and raises a toast, and he takes phone calls even during a home workout. The images give a glimpse of the busy life of a young CEO. With wealth, fame, and talent, viewers are eager to see what fate awaits Ha Yong Joong. An Woo Yeon said, “I think many people, including myself, know the reputation of writer Im Sung Han (also known as Phoebe). After an eight-hour audition, I, along with other actors, heard directly from the writer about the casting. When the writer said we would be ‘the leads who will carry Doctor Shin,’ I felt a mix of excitement and concern about whether I could handle such a work by the famous writer Im Sung Han. At the same time, I felt ambition and resolved to do my best with such excellent writing. Even though it has been nearly a year, I still vividly remember the day I was cast as a lead.” An Woo Yeon continued, “Ha Yong Joong is a man of great presence and gravitas, the CEO of a game company who has been developing games since he was young and achieved success. I studied a lot and consulted with the writer to prepare for the role. On the outside, I styled my hair in a masculine way, with two strands left down to show a free-spirited side. I also took voice training and paid close attention to my tone to make it deeper. On the inside, I worked hard to portray a polite, gentlemanly CEO who has both wealth and fame, including learning etiquette at fine dining restaurants.” The production team commented, “An Woo Yeon is constantly reflecting and analyzing as he performs the role of Ha Yong Joong. Please look forward to him reaching the peak of his career-defining performance through his solid, fully developed range of acting.” “Doctor Shin” will premiere on March 14 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
Park Sung Woong Is Caught Off Guard By A Sudden Turn To Farm Life In New Drama “Cabbage Your Life” Poster
KBS2’s upcoming drama “Cabbage Your Life” has unveiled its first poster! “Cabbage Your Life” follows the chaotic story about Sung Tae Hoon’s city family, who suddenly end up in Yeonriri village, as they struggle to return to Seoul. The poster features Sung Tae Hoon (Park Sung Woong) standing alone in the middle of a field, dressed neatly in a suit. His city-ready suit, paired with crooked sunglasses and a tie fluttering in the wind, hints at the rural initiation awaiting a seasoned office worker. His face, filled with disbelief, embarrassment, and helplessness, seems to question whether this is where he belongs. Adding to the intrigue, the phrase, “Life, in an instant, drops onto a dirt road!” raises questions about how a department manager at a major corporation was suddenly forced to move to Yeonriri and take up farming overnight. The production team said, “With the first poster, we aimed to clearly capture the comic tone of the series. The image of Sung Tae Hoon, dressed in a suit and standing in the middle of a field, symbolizes the starting point of ‘Cabbage Your Life.’ Through actor Park Sung Woong’s unexpected charm as he transforms into a farmer, and the chaotic adjustment of his city-bred family, we hope to deliver both laughter and healing. Please give it a lot of interest.” “Cabbage Your Life” premieres on March 26 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
