Delivery Man

Yoon Chan-young, whose popularity exploded following his appearance in the Netflix hit All of Us Are Dead earlier this year, has reportedly been offered the lead role in upcoming show Delivery Man.

The part, which his agency confirms he has received and is considering positively, would see him play a taxi driver who has the ability to see ghosts.

Aside from his normal work behind the wheel, he strives to fulfil the last wishes of the ghosts he meets. The series is being produced by KT Studio Genie.

Yoon is currently on our screens in the drama Hope or Dope (aka Juvenile Delinquency), an original series from the Korean streaming service Seezn. Filming for Delivery Man, which has yet to confirm where it will be broadcast, will commence once casting is complete.
