Kang Mi-na, formerly a member of the group I.O.I, is currently considering appearing in the new drama "Protect Me."
A representative of her agency, Story J Company, told StarNews on the 9th, "Kang Mi-na has been offered a role in the new drama 'Protect Me' and is reviewing it positively."
Based on the webtoon of the same name, "Protect Me" is an office romantic comedy about a former national representative detective who cannot trust "her" and a secretary from the third generation of a chaebol who cannot trust "him." The two, who initially lacked trust, protect and save each other.
It is reported that Kang Mi-na was offered the role of Kang Hae-ra, a senior detective in the strong crime team.
Kang Mi-na debuted in 2016 as part of the project group I.O.I and began balancing acting activities the following year through the drama "Boys and Girls of the 20th Century." She has since appeared in dramas such as "Girigori," "Twelve," "Welcome to Samdali," "Mingodang," "When the Flower Blooms, I Think of the Moon," "Hotel Del Luna," and "Gyeryong Seonnyejeon."
