Writer Lee Nak-jun revealed his first-choice actor for the upcoming drama adaptation of his work.

On the episode of KBS 2TV's variety show 'Malja Show' aired on the 24th, Lee Nak-jun, a former otolaryngologist and current web novel author, appeared to discuss the progress of his next project.

During the broadcast, when asked if any additional works had undergone rights agreements, writer Lee Nak-jun responded, "Fortunately, after 'Severe Trauma Center' was well-received, many projects moved forward," adding, "The internal medicine novel 'A.I. Doctor,' which I used for my next project, has been successfully contracted and is currently in the process of being adapted into a drama," raising expectations.

Following this, when asked about his first-choice casting and muse for the upcoming drama, a fan in the audience urgently shouted, "Please choose Kim Sun-ho!" turning the scene into laughter.

In response to the fan's enthusiastic recommendation, writer Lee Nak-jun cheerfully drew a line by saying, "I also like actor Kim Sun-ho, but he doesn't match the age range," and firmly explained his reason for rejection: "The character in the work is young."

Instead, he stated, "Personally, I favor actors Lee Do-hyun and Song Kang," naming them as the top virtual casting choices for 'A.I. Doctor,' further sparking curiosity about the newly emerging characters.
