Hani, formerly of EXID (real name Ahn Hee-yeon), has joined a KBS weekend drama.

On the 9th, KBS announced that Hani will appear in the new KBS 2TV weekend drama "Love Is Coming," scheduled to premiere in July. The drama is directed by Hong Seok-gu, written by Lee Kyung-hee, and produced by Monster Union and Content Ji.

"Love Is Coming" is a family recipe drama about a man and a woman who gather the fragments of a broken family to create the warmest meal of life. Hani and Ha Seok-jin have been cast as the male and female leads. Ha Seok-jin and Hani are set to portray a poignant reunion romance.

"Love Is Coming" is the new weekend drama by writer Lee Kyung-hee, known for works such as "Secretly, Greatly," "The Kind Man Who Doesn't Exist Anywhere in the World," and "I'm Sorry, I Love You," each of which offered deep reflections on life. With her lyrical and emotional writing style, Lee Kyung-hee has crafted deep and rich melodramas and is expected to create another masterpiece with sentences that move the heart. Director Hong Seok-gu, who has shown delicate emotional lines and a warm gaze through works like "The Queen's House," "Beauty and Mr. Romantic," and "My Only One," will direct the series.

Hani will take on her first challenge in a KBS weekend drama through "Love Is Coming."

Hani has previously demonstrated her acting skills through special appearances in terrestrial dramas, roles in web dramas, and appearances in OTT productions, but this marks her first time playing the lead in a terrestrial weekend drama. Hani will play Han Gyu-rim, a staff member at a side dish shop who takes responsibility for her family's livelihood and lives a fierce daily life. She will show her struggle, taking on various part-time jobs and managing household chores, fighting hard for 365 days and living a life like a war. Han Gyu-rim spent a happy and warm year with her lover Kim Mu-jin but could not bear the weight of harsh reality and decided to break up. After crossing eight years, she worked steadfastly at the side dish shop and encountered a new chapter when Kim Mu-jin reappeared.

Ha Seok-jin will lead the romance as Kim Mu-jin, an Italian restaurant owner chef with perfect credentials.

Meanwhile, Hani had been in an open relationship with psychiatrist Yang Jae-ung since 2022 and was scheduled to hold a wedding ceremony in September 2024. However, the wedding was indefinitely postponed following a controversy over a fatal accident at the hospital operated by Yang Jae-ung.

KBS 2TV's new weekend drama "Love Is Coming," a follow-up to "Prescribing Love," will premiere in July.
