Heo Nam Jun may be teaming up with Mun Ka Young and Choi Woo Shik for a new drama!
On August 14, JTBC Entertainment News reported that Heo Nam Jun recently received an offer to star in the upcoming drama “Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid” (working title) and is currently discussing the details.
In response, his agency H.SOLID shared, “It’s true that Heo Nam Jun has been offered a role in the new drama ‘Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid’ and is currently reviewing it.”
Based on a webtoon that reimagines Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” “Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid” is set in 1926 Gyeongseong (present-day Seoul) during Japanese occupation and follows the story of Kang Ui Hyeon, a man who dedicates everything to his country, and Su A, a woman who risks her life to protect him.
Previously, Choi Woo Shik and Mun Ka Young were revealed to be in talks to play Kang Ui Hyeon, an independence activist, and Su A, a servant in a pro-Japanese family, respectively.
Heo Nam Jun has reportedly been offered the role of Song Hae Su, an independence activist from Primorsky Krai who holds an unwavering belief in the independence movement after losing his family. Cold-headed and highly responsible, he becomes entangled with the protagonists Su A and Kang Ui Hyeon, leading to significant changes in his life.
Heo Nam Jun is currently set to star in JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama “A Hundred Memories,” premiering on September 13.
