FT Island’s vocal, Lee Hongki, who debuted as a child actor, is casted in SBS’s Wed-Thu new drama “You’re Beautiful“.

SBS spokesperson revealed, “Lee Hongki is casted in ‘You’re Beautiful‘. This drama talks about the story of an idol group and in reality, Lee Hongki is also a member of an idol group, so this role will suit him very well.”

“You’re Beautiful” talks about the growing stages of an idol band, the love and difficulties they experience. Group members of the idol band includes Jang Geunsuk and Park Shinhye, whose roles have been revealed earlier on. Park Shinhye will have two roles of different gender in this drama, and is gaining lots of attention. Lee Hongki will starr as Kang Onyoo, a character having a face prettier than any woman but doesn’t care about anything else.

This will be Lee Hongki’s drama comeback after 5 years. He debuted in KBS 2TV Children Drama “Magic Kid Masuri” in 2002 and also acted in EBS drama “There’s Light At The Tip Of My Fingernails” in 2004 and “Kkangsooni” in 2005.

It was said that Lee Hongki was casted in SBS drama “Master of Study” in the 2nd half of 2008, but the plan was aborted.

“You’re Beautiful” will air after “Swallow The Sun” on 7th October.

Aww ~ finally, Hongki will have his chance to star in a TV drama. After 5 years, he will finally go back to his original career, an actor.

I can't wait to watch this drama. My favorite actor, Jang Geunseok and Lee Hongki, my favorite singer (and also actor) together in one drama. Gosh, that is going to be awesome. I liked the way his character is characterized though, very Lee Hongki. Didn't Hongki had been compared to Geunseok to have similar features? Haha, now that is going to be great to watch them together.
