After a previous report saying that 2PM’s Chansung was being considered for MBC’s upcoming drama ‘The Secret Lovers’, the idol has now been confirmed to take the lead role for the series.
On October 31, a production company of the series reported that Chansung will play the role of Gong Do Ha, a new agent of the National Intelligence Service. He works with Joo Won and Choi Kang Hee.
Chansung feels confident in portraying his good-looking yet mysterious character. He is told to have been building up his body with taekwondo and kendo for the role.
A production staff commented, “As a representative Hallyu idol star and rookie actor, Chansung is passionate and ambitious. We are quite pleased to have him play the role. Please look forward to his transformation.”
Slated to begin its air on MBC next January, the 20-episode series will feature young secret agents’ love, friendship, conflict and reconciliation at the National Intelligence Service.
