Bai Lu-Cheng Lei fan war intensifies over 'The First Jasmine' stand-in allegations
Lee Min Ho is in talks for a new K-drama.
On July 2, an industry insider revealed, "Lee Min Ho is expected to star in the new drama But Your Love (Virtual Love, working title)."
Responding to the report, his agency MYM Entertainment shared, "Lee Min Ho received an offer to star in the new drama But Your Love, and he is currently reviewing it."
He has reportedly been offered the lead role of Cha Wook Hyun, the chief director of a game company.
On the surface, Cha Wook Hyun appears to be the perfect man, but his cold, demanding personality makes him regarded as the worst boss at his company. Following a certain incident, he debuts as a member of a virtual idol group.
But Your Love follows an office worker who discovers that the virtual idol who has been her source of comfort through her exhausting, dry life is actually her boss.
Meanwhile, Lee is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Assassin(s). Scheduled to premiere this September, Assassin(s) follows the investigation into the suspicions and masterminds behind the assassination attempt on South Korea's First Lady on August 15, 1974. Blending historical records, unanswered questions, and cinematic imagination, the film is a mystery-investigation drama. It is reportedly the first film to dramatize this real-life case, exploring a true story that has never before been depicted on screen.
In the film, Lee Min Ho plays a rookie reporter covering the scene of the incident, leading the story alongside Yoo Hai Jin and Park Hae Il.
The production team of But Your Love is reportedly currently casting both lead and supporting roles and aims to begin filming within the year.
