It has been announced that singer and actor Kim Hyun Joong will lead upcoming KBS 2TV Wed-Thu drama ‘Grateful Generation’, where he will star as the hero Shin Jung Tae.
A KBS 2TV staff revealed on July 5th, “Kim Hyun Joong deliberated over the offer for a long time after receiving it. After our final meeting yesterday, he decided to participate in the drama.”
‘Grateful Generation’ is an action packed drama set in Shanghai, China in the 1930s, and is about the pain suffered by youths through love, friendship, patriotism, and desires. Shin Jung Tae which will be played by Kim Hyun Joong, is described as someone who rises to prominence on the streets of Shanghai with his bare fists, but is clumsy and random at time.
‘Grateful Generation’ is based on the original manhwa by Bang Hak Gi whose previous works include ‘Fighter in the Wind’ and ‘Damo’. This will mark Kim Hyun Joong’s return to the small screen after a 3 year hiatus following his 2010 MBC TV drama ‘Playful Kiss’.
Kim Hyun Joong was in the midst of filming a drama called ‘City Conquest’ since July of last year but dropped out of it in February of his year after the drama failed to secure a time slot with broadcasting stations.
Kim Hyun Joong is currently a fixed cast member of SBS TV variety show ‘Barefooted Friends’.
