[theqoo] ‘SHOW BUSINESS’ SONG HYEKYO -> HONEY LEE, 70 BILLION WON MASTERPIECE, YOU CAN TRUST IN THESE ACTORS

Song Hye-kyo (Descendants of the Sun) and Gong Yoo (Squid Game) are set to star in Show Business (WT), a new series set against the backdrop of the gritty and intense ‘60s and ‘80s Korean entertainment industry.

Kim Seol-hyun (Light Shop), Cha Seung-won (Uprising) and Honey Lee (The Fiery Priest) will also appear in the drama.

Song will play the role of Min-ja, a resilient woman shaped by a challenging childhood. While making her way through life, she sees an opportunity in the Korean music industry and boldly dives in, determined to make her mark.

Gong Yoo plays Dong-gu, Min-ja’s childhood friend. Having faced all kinds of situations together growing up, they enter the music industry side by side. Even though he is reckless and unpredictable, Dong-gu has a soft spot for Min-ja and listens to anything she says.

Kim plays Min-hui, who has held a love-hate relationship with Min-ja since childhood. Once innocent and naive, following everything Min-ja says, Min-hui also reveals a rebellious and sharp side.

Cha takes on the role of skilled composer Gil-yeo, who is known for turning every singer he has worked with into a star.

Lee plays Yang-ja, Min-ja’s mom and an aspiring singer. Despite facing difficult circumstances and harsh realities, Yang-ja is determined not to give up on her dream.

Show Business is written by Noh Hee-gyoung (Our Blues) and directed by Lee Yoon-jung (Coffee Prince).

The series joins other top titles on the streamer’s upcoming Korean slate, including Physical: 100 spinoff Physical: Asia, Revelations, Lost in Starlight, Mantis and Good News, among others.

7. Song Hyekyo and Honey Lee’s tax evasionㅋㅋㅋ

8. 6 billion won + 2.557 billion won

Income tax: 2.557 billion won evaded (2009~2011)

9. Why put the two of them in one drama?

10. I’m more shocked that they wrote Honey Lee’s name after Selhyun’s
