EXO's Suho will reportedly return to acting next year!
On September 13th, media outlet JoyNews shared that EXO's leader Suho will be joining the upcoming drama "Hip."
Suho's agency SM Entertainment hasn't responded to the casting reports.
"Hip" is a drama about the stories that will take place against the backdrop of rural areas. The series will be led by
Han Ji Min and Lee Min Ki.
The upcoming drama will be the next collaboration work of director Kim Seok Yoon ("My Liberation Notes" and "Law School") and writer Lee Nam Gyu ("I Picked Up a Star on the Road"). The two worked together for the works "The Light in Your Eyes," "Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead," "My Wife’s Having an Affair this Week," and more.
This drama will be the reunion of Lee Min Ki with the "My Liberation Notes" director and Han Ji Min with the "The Light in Your Eyes" production team.
Meanwhile, there are no details yet on the character that was offered to Suho.
"Hip" will be part of the drama lineup of JTBC for 2023. According to reports, the drama will start filming soon.
If Suho confirms his casting, this will be his comeback to acting after three years. He last starred in the 2020 web drama "How Are You Bread" together with Lee Se Young, Moon Ji Yoon, Kim Seo Ra, Han So Young, and Kang Pil Sun.
This series will possibly be the first official drama of Suho on a broadcasting channel. The idol-actor has starred in several web dramas like "Rich Man," "The Universe’s Star," and "EXO Next Door." Aside from web dramas, Suho has participated in movies such as "Gift," "Student A," "One Way Trip," and more.
Suho got discharged from the military in February 2022. In April, the EXO member released his second solo album. He also participated in several variety programs and EXO activities since then.
