It will also star model Kang Seung-hyun and model and actor Jang Gi-yong as the chief of a major record label’s planning office and a common friend of the two lead characters, respectively.
The drama will be uploaded on CJ E&M’s YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/insitetv) and the digital platforms of YG and its affiliate model agency, YG Kplus, starting in early June.
