130201 KARAs Han Seung Yeon is cast as the lead role in Jang Ok Jeong Lives in Love

KARA’s Han Seung Yeon was recently cast in the lead role in the new drama series Jang Ok Jeong Lives in Love.

On February 1, Story TV, the production company of the series reported that Han was cast in the lead role in SBS TV’s new drama series Jang Ok Jeong Lives in Love.

In the series, Han plays the role of royal concubine Choi. Royal concubine Choi is a woman who was born as a person of humble condition but becomes a royal concubine and makes her son a king. As a rival of Jang Ok Jeong (played by Kim Tae Hee), she fights for King Sukjong (played by Yoo Ah In).

Han has prepared for the series despite her busy schedule in Korea and Japan. DSP Media, Han’s agency, says, “Han has decided to appear in Jang Ok Jeong Lives in Love after careful consideration. She has constantly prepared to make her acting debut. She has appeared in some Korean drama series as a cameo and in a Japanese drama series, but this is the Korean drama series she appears in as a lead character. She’s practicing a lot of the series now.”

The story of Jang Ok Jeong Lives in Love revolves around a setup that Jang Ok Jeong, who used to be a symbol of a bad woman in Korea, was actually a fashion designer in the Joseon Dynasty. It will be a different story from the previous stories about Jang Ok Jeong. The series will start airing in April after Yawang goes off the air.
