[ASKKPOP] Lee Joon cast in upcoming MBC drama 'Mister Baek'

Although it was reported that theMBLAQmembers will begoing off to the militaryafter their final concert, 'Curtain Call,' there may still be a chance for fans to see more of member,Lee Joon, at least before the enlistment as he has been cast inMBC's upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama, 'Mister Baek'!

Jang Na Rahas already beenconfirmed to starin the drama withShin Ha Kyun.  Now, according to MBC on October 10, Lee Joon has joined the lineup to play Choi Dae Han (literally translates to "maximum"), the son of chaebol chairman and main character, Choi Go Bong.

Lee Joon's character will be a second generation chaebol who stomachs talk behind his back from the minor employees to the directors of the company about his being trash and a roughneck with no attempt to modify people's thoughts or be ashamed.  Although he's a walking disaster that thinks he only needs enough money to live by, so does not work too hard, things begin to change when he becomes closer to intern, Eun Ha Soo.

This will be his first romantic comedy since debuting as an actor and will be in stark contrast to his last work,tvN's thriller 'Gabgdongi' in which he plays a psychopath; hence, fans are very curious about what performance he will put on this time.

Lee Joon said, "When I received the scenario, I saw it was a character that I had always wanted to play.  I thought I would be able to show a side that was opposite to the side I showed in 'Gabgdongi' through this character, so I decided to appear in [this drama].  I will do my best and work hard to show a perfect character in a good production."

The drama 'Mister Baek' will be replacing 'My Spring Day.'
