[08.04.10] [news] Consolidated news updates about Eric's new drama


New Artiste Seo Woo Casted Opposite Eric

After working with Big Bang, the quirky Seo Woo will soon be working with Shinhwa leader Eric.

After breaking into the scene with an ice-cream CF last year, Seo Woo has become very popular with the younger age group. She has just landed the role of Ryoung Doo in Strongest Chil Woo, the daughter of a fallen yangban.

After being abducted by baddies and left for dead, Chil Woo (played by Eric) rescued her, and she fell in love with Chil Woo. When they meet again, she begins to pursue him relentlessly.

Ryoung Doo decides to join the assassination clan led by Chil Woo as an informant, and believes that Chil Woo loves her. In this quirky comedic role, she pesters him to teach her martial arts, and even takes her clothes off to embarrass him.

Seo Woo says, "I hope to project an adorable image, and that everyone can find me as approachable as the little sister next door. Truly loving a man can be happy and painful, I hope to be able to portray that."

Im Haryong Plays Dad to Shinhwa again

Im Haryong and Shinhwa have been sharing an unusual affinity in their productions.

Im Haryong has recently accepted the role of Eric's foster father in KBS2's Strongest Chil Woo. This is particularly interesting since he has also played the father of Eric's fellow Shinhwa member Lee Minwoo in the movie Wontak's Angel.

As his character died early on in the movie, he wasn't able to share many scenes with Lee Minwoo, but in Strongest Chil Woo he will be playing a doting father who sees Eric as his own.

Strongest Chil Woo is Eric's last drama project before army enlistment, thus generating a lot of public interest in the drama. The sageuk drama is about a lowly officer who transforms into a deadly assassin by night, and is scheduled to air in June.

Eric will be enlisting for military duty around September-October.

Yoo Ah In's Comeback After 2 Years and 4 Months, To Star Opposite Eric

Yoo Ah In's character in the drama will be that of an assassin named Hak San, and he hopes to shed his youthful image and be recognised as a more mature actor.

As Eric's last drama before enlistment, the drama has garnered much attention even before it's aired. According to sources, the rights to the drama has already been sold to Japan's Asahi TV and will be aired in Japan in the autumn.
