DBSK’s Yunho to make acting debut

Ha! Just days after refuting the rumors, it has been announced that 23-year-old DBSK singer U-Know Yunho is indeed making his acting debut in the soccer drama Heading to the Ground [맨땅에 헤딩].

The singer, born Jung Yun-ho, takes on the character of “Cha Bong-kun,” a role recently vacated by Kim Rae-won because of Kim’s mandatory army obligation. To achieve the impossible goal of making it as a national player, the character pours all his passion into realizing the dream. While he “has nothing to his name, the drama tells the miraculous success story of passionate soccer player Cha Bong-kun.”

U-Know Yunho said of the role, “I really like the character of Cha Bong-kun. Reading the script, my heart overflowed with emotion. I want to act that feeling with sincerity.”

Heading to the Ground follows the Wednesday-Thursday horror drama Hon on MBC and premieres on September 9. No confirmation yet on the casting of his love interest, although Go Ara remains in contention

@ boblicy: I agree with you on that. Well, what else can we do? Its the trend that I don't like except the fact that I'm not a fan and I didn't care much.:)

Yamapi still can't act, but his best performance is Prodai which has won him the actor award I think. Jpop boys is far talented than Kpop in acting considering they have started earlier and developing their skills. I didn't have so much faith in Katkun or NEWS boys when it come to acting skillls, but Arashi members is worth mentioning.

What a bizarre change.

Considering how both leads are from from SM Entertainment, I'm sure SM put in a nice word for both to appear.

ooh. OOOH. this will be interesting... while my hormones are yelling at me to leap and 'fangirl' shriek with joy, there is SOME doubt about yunho's acting ability... MAYBE the banjun drama was just some relaxing activity for DBSK so i'm hoping to see a good performance from yunho! (DROOL) Go Ara's acting skills are definitely moving so I'm afraid that in contrast, the newbie yunho would look quite stiff... TT.TT yunho, fighting!!

I'm prob gonna watch this drama cos of him, mostly because I want him to do well. I found the banjun drama's funny and I thought he wasn't too bad considering that it was meant to be a silly joke anyway.
I just hope he isn't a Kangin from Super junior, I haven't been able to finish the movie he did niether could I sit through that love is zero drama......SO DRY.......seriously.

All of these pre-judgment about his acting skills is based upon a Banjun Drama that he made four years ago? I never knew that such will qualify as point of reference. After all, the series was at that time only used as an avenue for album promotions.

Don't expect an acting tour de force because, clearly, the director and producer were not after that when they hired him. Hence, they'll know how to work around it. But, you have to agree, he comes with a lot of fringe benefits like the potential Asian television market's interest in picking up the series.

@ the comparisions between k and j idols

I think thats a different situation, because aren't Johnnys trained in both acting and singing before they debut?

Anyway, I'm not necessarily againest singers trying out acting because people can have more than one talent but acting is like any other skill, it takes time and dedication to perform well. A pretty face plus lots of fans does not make an actor (unfortunately, the entertainment biz seems to disagree), Heck, a lot of well established actors aren't that great either.

I hope he does well but I think in the end he will be good for a singer but average for an actor.
