Shinhwa’s Eric considers appearing on new TV drama series

K-pop band Shinhwa member Eric Mun is considering starring on KBS’ new drama series, temporarily entitled “Discovery of Love.”

“We are considering the offer for the new drama and it seems optimistic,” an official at Shinhwa’s management company told The Korea Herald on Wednesday.

The new TV program is stoking much anticipation among viewers as actress Jung Yoo-mi, who appeared on MBC’s drama series “Que Sera Sera” in 2007 together with Eric, was also mentioned as a lead actress for the show.

If the two celebrities accept the offer, they will team up once again for the first time in seven years.

Broadcast officials expect that the two stars will make a decision soon as they are looking over the synopsis for the program.

The new drama series is said to be airing in August as a follow-up to “Big Man” and “Trot Lovers”.
