CNBlue‘s leader, vocalist, and guitarist Jung Yong Hwa may be acting again soon. According to reports from local news agencies, the singer is a strong candidate and looking favorably upon a new KBS drama, “Future’s Choice“ (tentative English title) set to air in the latter part of the year. Reports further said he is to take on the lead role.
Jung Yong Hwa’s management agency confirmed the offer for “Future’s Choice,” however, “it is not yet final but it is under positive review.” On the production side, a representative from KBS said, “We have not yet signed a formal agreement with Jung Yong Hwa, but we are looking at completing the contracts to begin shooting next month.”
“Future’s Choice” is about the lives and loves of people who work in broadcast, focusing on a writer who meet her past self and gives her advice on her life. Jung Yong Hwa is being courted to play a station PD. The drama is helmed by Kwong Hye Hong from the work of scenarist Hong Jin Ah, the writer behind “Beethoven Virus” and “The King 2 Hearts.”
Should Jung Yong Hwa be confirmed, “Future’s Choice” will be his first drama in two years, after his turn in 2011's “Heartstrings.” He was earlier cast in “The Heirs,” but later withdrew amicably.
“Future’s Choice” is set for an October premiere, after “Good Doctor” finishes its run.
