Go Hyun-jung wants to debut idol trainee Ryeoun in Namib

by Jenzy

ENA just confirmed their main cast for their underdog drama Namib, starring Go Hyun-jung (Mask Girl), Ryeoun (Twinkling Watermelon), Yoon Sang-hyun (18 Again), and Lee Jin-woo (Snap and Spark).

The story follows entertainment CEO and star producer Kang Su-hyun (Go Hyun-jung). She’s somewhat of a maverick in the entertainment field, with a philosophy unto herself as to how she works with trainees and idols, but her results always speak for themselves. So it comes as a shock when she one day gets unceremoniously fired from her own company.

 

With nothing left to lose, she decides to pour all her eggs into one basket and try one last time to debut a star. And she has just the person in mind: nineteen-year-old trainee Yoo Jin-woo (Ryeoun).

Jin-woo, while talented, has been stuck in the trainee grind at his company for the past ten years. He’s long since given up on his dream, and with his parents debts and his own emotional baggage at being neglected, he’s not the most eager pupil for Su-hyun. But if these two entertainment exiles are going to have a chance at the big stage, they’re going to have to work together.

And rounding out the rest of the main cast we have Su-hyun’s family who will endure the shockwaves of Su-hyun’s career. First there’s Su-hyun’s husband, Shim Jun-seok (Yoon Sang-hyun), a former music producer who’s also itching for a chance to redeem himself. And they have a son Shim Jin-woo (Yoo Jin-woo), who after losing his hearing in a car accident is the subject of bullying at school.

While the story sounds like a heartwarming come up tale… and I love me some Ryeoun… in the very year of the HYBE vs. Min Hee-jin beef, I can’t be the only one who finds the timing of this story absolutely insane right? I’m definitely curious to see the teasers now.

Written by Eom Sung-min and directed by Han Sang-jae (Cold Blooded Intern), Namib will be available on ENA and Genie TV in the second half of this year.
