Did you know that F.T Island’s Lee Hong-ki was a childhood actor? Well, he was.

Lee Hong-ki will be making his return to the small screen after his five year hiatus through the upcoming SBS drama, ‘You Are So Handsome’. Lee Hong-ki was originally supposed to star in the SBS drama, ‘God of Studying’ during the latter half of 2008 but production of the drama has been entirely cancelled.

‘You Are So Handsome’, is a story about a four member Idol group and their growth, love life and hardships. Alongside Lee Hong-ki, Jang Geun-suk and Park Shin-hye have also been cast as a member of the Idol group. What’s interesting is, Park Shin-hye, will have two roles in the drama because she plays the part of a girl who disguises herself as a boy to be in the Idol group.

Lee Hong-ki has been cast for the role of Kang O-nyu, the pretty boy idol group member who doesn’t really care much for anything or anyone around him. As to why Lee Hong-ki was cast for the role, a representative of the drama stated,

Lee Hong-ki has been cast in the drama ‘You Are So Handsome’. Since the story is about an Idol group, while we were in the process of looking for an actual Idol group member to star in the drama we felt that Lee Hong-ki was a good candidate for the character and decided that he actually suited the character quite well.

‘You Are So Handsome’ is scheduled to air on October 7th, following the currently broadcasting drama, ‘Swallow the Sun’.
