Jang So Yeon is confirmed to star alongside Wi Ha Joon and Jung Ryeo Won in a new K-drama
EXO's Xiumin will no longer be part of the upcoming K-drama Guardians.
On January 5, media outlet Star News shared that EXO member Xiumin decided to not appear in the upcoming thriller K-drama Guardians.
Guardians will revolve around people who are doing their best to make up for an imperfect law. The K-drama will feature electronic supervisors and probation officers and the work they do to help and monitor criminals.
Xiumin was offered to portray the role of Song Hyun Woo, the youngest electronic director. He is in his third year as a probation officer and he practices the work-life balance. Previously, it was revealed that Xiumin was positively considering to star in the upcoming K-drama. Ultimately, Xiumin decided to decline the offer.
The upcoming K-drama will be led by The Glory actor Jung Sung Il.
Guardians is set to exclusively premiere on SBS. There is no confirmation yet on the release date of the thriller K-drama.
This upcoming K-drama was supposed to be the continuation of Xiumin's acting activities. The EXO member resumed his acting last year as he appeared in the TVING K-drama Boss-dol Mart with Lee Shin Young, MONSTA X's Hyung Won, Choi Jung Woon, Choi Won Myung, and Lee Sae On. He played the role of a K-pop idol who decided to take charge of a struggling supermarket.
Xiumin began his acting career officially through the 2015 web K-drama Falling for Do Jeon with Kim So Eun, Jang Yoo Sang, Jang Hee Ryung, Hong Je Yi, Park In Hwan, and more. This was his first time leading a web K-drama. After eight years of hiatus from acting, Xiumin returned and starred in Boss-dol Mart.
Aside from acting, Xiumin is active in all EXO and EXO-CBX activities.
