K-pop singer Sooyoung and 2PM’s Chansung to star in K-drama, ‘So I Married an Anti-fan’
Ex-Girls’ Generation star to play magazine reporter Lee Geun-young, while Chansung is cast as villain in romantic comedy drama now in pre-production
Former Girls’ Generation member Sooyoung is set to play an anti-fan of one of K-pop’s top stars in a new television drama, So I Married an Anti-fan.
The series focuses on K-pop superstar Hoo Joon (played by Choi Tae-joon) and his budding romance with magazine reporter Lee Geun-young (played by Sooyoung).
Airing dates for the romantic comedy drama, which is currently in pre-production, have yet to be confirmed. The cast held its first read-through of the script in late August.
Sooyoung is one of the three members in Girls’ Generation who have not renewed their contracts with SM Town – the umbrella name for recording artists under South Korean entertainment company SM Entertainment. She is now with a different agency to focus on her acting career.
Another confirmed cast member for the drama is Chansung, of veteran K-pop boy band 2PM, who will play the role of JJ, a chaebol (a member of a family-owned conglomerate) and CEO of Supigen Entertainment. This will be his first attempt at playing a villain.
Actor Park Seung-il will play Choi Hee-gun, a reporter who works at the same magazine company as Lee Geun-young.
