In Some and Shopping, Hae In might play the role of Lee Hae Seok, a CEO of a cosmetics company and a home shopping host with absolute principles.
If Hae In accepts the role, it will remarkably be the first romantic comedy in his almost-decade-long acting career.
Prior to the offer, the actor already opened up about his desire to star in a romcom. “I have never done a rom-com before and I want to give it a try,” the actor shared in a previous interview.
A walk through the acting career of Jung Hae In
In 2014, Hae In made his acting debut with a supporting role in the series Bride of the Century. Since then, he appeared in numerous dramas including Blood, Night Light, Prison Playbook, and many more.
In 2017, Hae In gained recognition in the drama While You Were Sleeping starring Lee Jong Suk and Bae Suzy. There, the actor infected fans with the “second lead syndrome” for his role as policeman Han Woo Tak.
After the success of While You Were Sleeping, the actor finally landed his first lead role in the 2018 melodrama Something in the Rain. There, he starred alongside veteran actress Son Ye Jin. Said drama bagged the Best Drama Series in the Asian Television Awards.
Furthermore, Hae In continued to establish his versatility as an actor in his next projects. From being a loveable pharmacist in One Spring Night, to being a North Korean agent in Snowdrop, the actor proved that he can ace a variety of roles.
Most recently, the 35 year-old actor returned as a calm soldier in the second season of D.P., which tackled the undesirable nature inside the military.
Although the actor has tried various genres in the past, romantic-comedy is something he is yet to conquer. With his appearance in Some and Shopping currently in talks, fans are already expecting to witness Hae In’s charm in a new light.
