• KBS's epic drama "Moonmu" Beedam 役 cast

Singer and actor Lee Ji-hoon is knocking on the small screen for the first time in a long time with a KBS historical drama.

Lee Ji-hoon was cast in KBS' new epic drama "Moonmu," according to his agency Eunchong Evensel on the 18th. Lee Ji-hoon's appearance in the drama came about 10 years after KBS 2TV's "Oh My Gold Bee" in 2016.

Having been working steadily between singers and actors for the past 30 years, he has built his career around the musical stage until recently. Through this 'Moonmu', I tried to become a drama for the first time in a long time and expanded my range of activities again.

Munmu is an authentic epic historical drama set in the process of the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Silla. It will portray the era of King Munmu amid fierce historical trends with Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Tang Dynasty. It is a masterpiece with a production cost of about 30 billion won.

Lee Ji-hoon played the role of Vidam in the film. Vidam is a character who demands charisma and three-dimensional emotional lines at the same time, and is an attractive character that has been intensely drawn in various works in the past. In 2009, actor Kim Nam-gil rose to stardom in the MBC historical drama "Queen Seondeok" by playing the role of Vidam.

Eunchong Evensel said, "Lee Ji-hoon has prepared deeply by interpreting the character Vidam in his own color based on his acting skills and expressiveness accumulated through musicals for a long time," adding, "He is also performing a stable performance based on thorough research and immersion of the character at the re-filming site."

According to Eunchong Evenssel, the deep trust of director Kim Young-jo, who directed the casting, played a major role. Director Kim Young-jo formed a relationship with Lee Ji-hoon in the past by directing KBS's "King Geuncho Go" and "Jang Young-sil."

Meanwhile, Munmu is being produced with the aim of broadcasting in the second half of this year. In addition to Lee Ji-hoon, talented actors such as Lee Hyun-wook, Jang Hyuk, Kim Kang-woo, Park Sung-woong, and Jung Woong-in confirmed their appearance.
