Jung Yonghwa and Park Shinhye have been offered to be the lead actors in Pyo Minsu’s new drama titled ‘Festival’ (working title), which is scheduled to air in June on MBC.

The production staff talked on the phone with Newsen on the 24th saying, “‘Festival’ is a youth mellow drama that takes place in a school of arts. The male lead is involved in a school band. We were thinking whether we should give the part to an actor who can play music or give it to a singer, so we offered the part to Jung Yonghwa who has experience in acting.”

Jung Yongwa is said to be seriously considering the role. His agency, FNC Music, said, “It’s true that he received an offer to star in the drama and still considering whether he should accept the role.” Jung Yonghwa’s group CNBLUE is scheduled to make a comeback in the 4th week of March.

The drama staff stated that they are considering Park Shinhye for the female lead. Park Shinhye’s agency, Ava Entertainment, said, “I think she can show off her charm through this lively youthful character. The script is interesting. We are currently still in discussion with the production team, we will decide soon.” Park Shinhye who starred in the movie ‘Cyrano Agency; Dating Agency’ is also due to start her classes in Chung-Ang University, theatre and film studies.

The two have starred together in the 2009 SBS drama ‘You’re Beautiful’. In the drama, Park Shinhye, who played the character Go Minam, is in love with Hwang Taekyung who was played by Jang Keun Seuk. Jung Yonghwa, who played Kang Shinwoo, had a one-sided love with Go Minam and received title like ‘Milk man’ and ‘Towel Man’ as a result. Upon hearing the news of the possible casting of the two, ‘You’re Beautiful’ fans have been showing their interest.

‘Festival’ is scheduled to broadcast following the Hong Sister’s new drama with Park Hong Kyun PD titled ‘Discovery of affection’.
