T-ara‘s Eunjung has been confirmed for a role in SBS-TV‘s upcoming drama, ‘Five Fingers‘.

The idol had previously been reported to be in discussion for a role in the new drama, but the latest news suggest that she has now been confirmed. Core Contents Media announced on June 29th that “Eunjung has decided to take on ’Five Fingers’,” and “She will play the role of Hong Dami, a girl who has given up on her dreams due to difficult family circumstances.”

As T-ara’s will be releasing their new album and following up with promotions after, Eunjung debated if she could balance between her acting career and music. In the end, she decided that she would take on the challenge to show yet another side of her on the small screen with her brand-new role.

Core Contents further commented, “Eunjung has held acting roles even as a child before her debut,” and “She has improved greatly through her various roles in ‘Dream High 1‘ and ‘Coffee House‘. Please keep giving her support and attention.”

‘Five Fingers’ is a drama about youth who struggle to overcome their tragic pasts and obstacles, and fight on to achieve their dreams. Joo Ji Hoon will hold the role of the main male role. The first episode will air on August 4th with the conclusion of ‘Gentlemen’s Class‘.

Joo Ji Hoon to make his first small screen comeback in five years

Actor Joo Ji Hoon will be making his first comeback to the small screen in five years through SBS‘s ‘Five Fingers‘ (temporary title).

Joo Ji Hoon will be playing the role of a prodigious pianist that must fight to have his potential recognized due to coming from an unfortunate family background.

His comeback has caused quite a stir amongst netizens, as in 2009, he was indicted for the use of drugs and sentenced to six months suspended sentence for one year and community service. He then enlisted in the army and was discharged last year before being cast in the movie ‘I Am a King‘.

Currently, he is still on the ban list for KBS and MBC.

Key East Entertainment stated, “Joo Ji Hoon is reflecting on the disappointment he’s given so many people deep in his heart. He’s still apologetic about what he did and deliberated a lot about coming back onto the screen in front of the public, but he’s put a lot of trust in the director and writer, both of whom persuaded him to take the casting offer. He decided to confirm it after seeing the many charms his character has.”

They continued, “He’ll apologize by returning to his roots and showing even better acting. He’s determined to not disappoint the people that have given him another opportunity and will do his best to greet you all with a more mature image.”
