Fangirls will definitely feel excited to learn two of the hottest K-pop idols will be joining the cast of a JYP Entertainment-produced web drama. GOT7 Jinyoung and 2PM leader Nichkhun have been confirmed for the project "School of Magic."
According to a report by Soompi, aside from Jinyoung, and Nichkhun, Yoon Park Ryu Seung Soo and Shin Eun Soo will round up the five main characters of the series. The series is expected to start filming by July this year and release in the second half of the year through various channels.
"School of Magic" will be a series based on the experiences that the youth encounter these days. Aside from the usual joys and fun adventures, the series is also expected to tackle failures and challenges that young people are faces with.
Based on the early synopsis released for "School of Magic", the five characters will meet in a school of magic. The five characters will have different personalities and backgrounds. Jinyoung will play the role of Nara, a college student who dreams of becoming a public official. However, while he is studious and focused, he lacks experience in dating and is ill-equipped in matters of the heart, reported All Kpop.
Nichkhun will play the role of Jun, who is always optimistic despite coming from a poor background. Yoon Park will play Jay, a talented magician who studies at the "School of Magic" who harbors a deep sadness.
Uncontrollably Fond actor Ryu Seung Soo will keep them all in check as he plays the role of Master Han, the school director of "School of Magic". Playing the lead female role of Iseul is Shin Eun Soo, who dreams of being a dancer instead of being a magician.
"From the beginning of the drama's planning stages, we have been aiming to appropriately include novelty, humor, relatability, and emotion in its story," JYP Entertainment said in a statement. "As spectacular as the cast and staff are, we will bring you a drama that will excite your senses."
