Actor and singer Park Jin-young, who is better known as Jinyoung of K-pop boy band Got7, will be starring in the streaming platform TVING’s upcoming original series, “Yumi’s Cells.”
The platform announced Thursday that the actor has taken the lead role in the series and will join the rest of the cast members, Kim Go-eun, Ahn Bo-hyun, and Lee Yu-bi.
Based on the popular webcomic of the same name, the romance series revolves around Yu-mi (Kim), a single woman in her 30s. With the help of her “cells,” portrayed as human-like figures, she goes on a journey in search of happiness in her personal life, romance and work. It will be directed by Lee Sang-yeob, who led the rom-com series “Shopaholic Louis” and “Familiar Wife,” and co-scripted by Kim Yoon-joo, who wrote “Find Me in Your Memory,” and newcomer Kim Kyung-ran.
Park will play the role of Ba-bi who works with Yu-mi at a food company. He is at the center of attention among the women at work who consider him perfect boyfriend material with his handsome looks.
“Thanks to the production team and fellow cast members, I was able to successfully start off my first scene in the series,” the actor said through the platform. “After a long discussion about the character Ba-bi with the director, I was able to study him and get into the role naturally.”
“Yumi’s Cells” is scheduled for release sometime before the end of this year.
