South Korean singer-actors Lee Jun Young and Hyeri might share screen together in upcoming fantasy K-drama Ildangbaek Butler (literal title).
According to Soompi, it was reported on April 26 that Lee Jun Young will be starring in the MBC’s upcoming drama in response to which, a source from Lee Jun Young’s agency Jflex Entertainment stated, “It is a project he has received an offer for and is positively reviewing.” If Lee Jun Young accepts the offer, he will portray Butler Kim, Ildangbaek’s one and only employee.
