On May 8, the producers of KBS 2TV’s upcoming drama “Yeonmo” (romanized title) officially announced, “Jung Chaeyeon’s casting has been confirmed for the role of the crown prince’s wife.”
Based on the manhwa (Korean comic) of the same name, “Yeonmo” (which means “love” or “affection” in Korean) will tell the story of a pair of royal twins, one male and one female. Although the sister is initially abandoned for being female, she later disguises herself as a man to become the crown prince when her brother dies.
In what will mark her first drama in two years, Jung Chaeyeon will be playing the role of Noh Ha Kyung, the crown prince’s wife. The idol-turned-actress last appeared in “My First First Love 2” in 2019.
“Yeonmo,” which will be helmed by “Beauty Inside” and “Another Oh Hae Young” director Song Hyun Wook, is currently slated to premiere in the second half of 2021.
