BLISSOO, Jisoo's elite management, has issued a thrilling update, "She is diligently contemplating the enchanting opportunity" presented by 'Monthly Boyfriend.' Having left her mark in projects like 'Snowdrop,' Jisoo's likely appointment as the show's protagonist only intensifies anticipation. Details about this intriguing drama remain veiled in mystery, yet her involvement all but guarantees a star-studded spectacle.

Jisoo's journey in acting has been nothing short of remarkable, from her debut in 'The Producer' in 2015 to her upcoming endeavors in 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' and 'Newtopia.' In the latter, she'll star alongside Park Jung Min and Kim Joon Han, portraying Young Ju, a nascent rookie navigating the rugged terrain of military life amidst a zombie-ravaged world. Her character's resilience amidst adversity promises to evoke a symphony of emotions.

Moreover, Jisoo is poised to captivate audiences alongside Lee Min-ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Soo Bin, Nana, and Shin Seung Ho in 'Omniscient Reader,' a highly anticipated Korean film adaptation of a web novel, slated for a 2025 release.

Parallelly, the multi-talented Park Ji Hoon stands on the brink of a game-changing role in 'We Are The Zombie,' a webtoon-inspired K-drama that whispers of survival amidst chaos. Although he has yet to make an official commitment, should he accept, he'll embody Kim In Jong, a enigmatic figure who endured a solitary year atop Seoul Tower.

The narrative, woven from Lee Myung Jae's masterful webtoon hosted on Naver, centers around Seoul Tower, a haven unscathed by the zombie horde. As survivors perish within its confines, Kim In Jong emerges as the enigmatic figure at the heart of the narrative.

Ji Hoon's prior work, including his portrayal of Go Young Soo in 'Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage,' where he transformed a commoner's love into royalty, and his dual roles in 'Love Song for Illusion' as Crown Prince Sajo Hyun and his mysterious alter ego Ak-Hee, have left an indelible mark on audiences. Now, with 'We Are The Zombie,' he stands poised to embark on yet another awe-inspiring journey.
