tvN Responds To New Reports About Hong Sisters's Next Drama + IU's Potential Casting

tvN has responded to new reports surrounding the Hong Sisters’s new drama, as well as IU’s potential participation in it.

On January 14, it was reported that IU would be playing the lead role in the new tvN drama “Hotel Del Luna” (literal translation), which will be a Saturday-Sunday drama penned by Hong Jung Eun and Hong Mi Ran, commonly known as the Hong Sisters.

tvN responded to the reports by stated, “Although it is true that ‘Hotel Del Luna’ has been tentatively set to air in the second half of 2019, we have not decided on the broadcast schedule yet. Also, no actors have been confirmed for any of the roles either.” They stated that though IU was offered the role, as previously reported in December 2018, a final decision on whether she will appear in the drama has not been made yet.

“Hotel Del Luna” will be a fantasy drama set in a hotel where ghosts wander the halls. The story will revolve around an elite hotelier who becomes the owner of the hotel after a fateful incident and the elegant and beautiful, but ill-tempered hotel manager Jang Man Wol. The drama is already gaining attention as it will be penned by the Hong Sisters, who have created hits like “You’re Beautiful,” “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho,” “The Greatest Love,” “Master’s Sun,” and “Hwayugi.”
