Hip-hop youth webtoon Who Knows gets drama adaptation
by girlfriday
There’s a new webtoon-to-drama adaptation in the works which fits into a familiar niche as a youth drama about music and romance, but it offers something slightly different: It’s about an awkward teenage boy who becomes a hip-hop musician superstar. Cool. The webtoon by Kim Jae-han is called Who Knows, a slangy phrase that’s used in a lot of different ways, from “what’s there to know” to “who the hell even knows,” and it’s a high school romance that cleverly integrates music as a part of the webtoon-reading experience.
The drama is being planned as a 16-episode pre-produced series, and an early casting offer was made to Yook Sung-jae (The Lonely Shining Goblin) to headline, but his agency almost immediately released a statement that he’d already turned the project down. That’s too bad, though honestly if the drama is about a hip-hop artist, it’s one case where I’d want them to cast someone who’s just as talented a rapper as he is an actor. You guys will probably know better than me—does such a person exist?
The webtoon is about a 19-year-old high school senior named Kim Won-joon, an introspective, overthinking kid who basically keeps to himself and tries to stay invisible from bullies in order to survive at school. He carries a torch for a girl he’s never even met—a senior at a nearby school who’s famous for her uljjang photos online—and he’s a bit of a fanboy about her, thinking himself a mere mortal who could never reach his “goddess.”
One day, his best friend decides to enroll them both in an open audition to be models (the friend hilariously submits Won-joon’s photo and a photo of Kimura Takyua for himself), and Won-joon’s ordinary life drastically changes when he meets his goddess at his audition, and then gets cast as a model. He sort of stumbles into the entertainment world and then discovers a love and talent for music, inspired by the girl he’s in love with.
I’ve only read the beginning of the webtoon, but what I like about it is how awkward the hero is—he’s not cool or suave at all, which is appealing when you know that he’ll somehow transform into a superstar. It’s maybe not as drastic a transformation as the one Kim Soo-hyun underwent in Dream High, but it’s that type of trajectory, where he starts out a bumbling fool who can’t even talk to pretty girls.
The story is set in 2007 to 2010, and the drama plans to use the music specific to that time, and even hopes to get cameos from different hip-hop artists for each episode. Casting is still underway and a broadcaster has yet to pick it up, but Who Knows plans to start shooting in July.

Man... music themed adaptations get to me these days. I love love love The Liar and His Lover, I might love this too. Also, I'm kinda happy Yook Sungjae didn't accept this project. He honestly hasn't officially rested as much after Goblin because he filmed Variety shows left and right, had a Korean comeback and is currently in the middle of a BTOB Japanese comeback. I hope there's a better project for him. I'd love to see him and Joy in one project. I enjoyed watching them in We Got Married.

He's a good rapper actually, and trained as a rapper as a trainee. When Minhyuk, the rapper in Sungjae's group BTOB is busy, Sungjae takes on his rap parts for him. He also rapped in Big Byung's "Stress Come On," and Ojingeo, Bbyu Young Love, etc.

Joy can be Kyoko and Sungjae can be either Sho or Ren from skip beat. I especially think Joy would be perfect playing the bully/model-like Natsu. She pulls off of cold haughty prep-girl really well.

What about Ilhoon? He's the other rapper (blonde next to Minhyuk) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFQthiD6xBY
He raps as well, if not better.
He also showed acting potential in music videos and stole the show in the MV for Movie. He looks like Highlight Jun-hyung too.

Oh, I love Ilhoon as a rapper! I think he's the better rapper. I challenge you to listen to his rap in Nightmare on a loop, it's mesmerising. You will not want to stop once you start.
https://www.youtuberepeat.com/watch?v=P07ifUeP4v0
I don't know if he'll have time though. He also has the Japan activities and needs to compose for BTOB. Minhyuk composes too, but not title tracks so he has time for the movie. I don't even know if Ilhoon has interest in acting tbh. Potentially, he might even be better than Sungjae, he fits all kinds of concepts.

Also, about what you said about stealing the show for Movie MV, he also stole the show in the performance. He stayed in character for Jack Sparrow the whole time with his costume.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4fu4lF_O8k
Who knows, he might be a good physical actor? Too bad I don't know if Cube will let him act. They might just want him to concentrate on composing the next title track since Movie is their most successful one so far.

@silverp Hey, I might really love it if Ihoon landed the role. He always is mentioned on lists for best idol rappers on Pann. I used to prefer MH's raps because his voice is more manly and my style. I didn't get the hype about how Ilhoon was so good but the longer I listen to Ilhoon, the more I acknowledge his skills. In this case, his younger voice and young face might fit the role better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4JuQ_LdSmM). No idea if anyone else but Beanies considered casting him. Hey, if Junhyung got casted in Monstar, why not Ilhoon.

I thought of Kim Min-jae too but he's probably busy with The Best Shot. There's EXO's Chanyeol who is both a rapper and actor but I don't think he's very good in acting.
Either way, if they offered the role to Sungjae, they probably aren't looking for an actual rapper for the role. Still sad he rejected it, was looking forward to seeing him in a leading role.

I hope you're not right on the "not looking for an actual rapper"-part, although it wouldn't be unlikely :( Music dramas always have a hard time engaging me if the actors playing musicians don't actually have any talent in the area... But it might be too hard to find someone who can do both *sigh*

Chanyeol is so precious and I love that boy to death, but his acting isn't that great even though I enjoyed him so much in Missing Nine. If they're going to cast anyone from EXO, I want them to cast Xiumin. He's cute, can sing, can rap, and can act. Frankly, the child needs more exposure.

I actually don't think KYJ is tall enough to pass as a ulzzang model kinda girl. Plus I don't think the lead actress has anything to do except be pretty and be a love interest. I suspect tons of wide eyed looks and 'falling-catching' kinda scenario. In that sense Seolhyun would be a better fit since she won't have to do any actual acting.

This sounds interesting! I tend to favor webtoon-to-dramas; Misaeng, CITT, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds... and weirdly enough it was Dream High that brought me to Dramabeans ( I HAD to make sense of that ending)
I second Kim Min-jae in the lead role- he was an excellent singer/rapper in Twenty Again.

Oooh that sounds like something I'll love!
The whole "act and rap" thing has me thinking. So Ji Sub is way too old lol. I think SIG can rap (?), but I don't really think him playing a high school kid again would work...
Maybe Song Seunghyun? He's been in a lot of musicals as well as a movie called The Youth where he did really well for someone new to filming. He also did the webdrama, Investigator Alice 2, which was honestly a hot mess, but that was due to a poor lead actress, bad writing and weird directing. He's tall and he's got a baby face, so could easily play a high school kid. Aaaaandddd he can rap well:

I know plenty of good Korean rappers, but it's probably sparse with ones that can both act and rap!

*racks brain, can only think of idol-rappers*
Kyuhyun can rap okay and has done lots of musicals, but have only seem him in a webdrama that wasn't very good. Plus, doesn't look like a model.
Hongki can rap okay too, but he's not tall enough for the model thing.
Key is the lead rapper for Shinee, but I've never heard him rap and he might not be very convincing with the model thing either, don't think he's tall enough?
Mino from Winner is an excellent rapper and could fit the model plot, but he's got no acting experience except from the group's Heirs parody lol. He did well there, but he's way too green.
Underground rappers (who haven't turned idol) are probably out of the question, I've never heard of any of them turning to acting?
*wishes passionately that they actually hire someone who can rap and not just someone who can act*

Isn't SHINee's Minho also a rapper? Plus he fits the model image, and can act okay-ish too. But does he look too old to be a 19 year old?
I love the idea of Kim Min Jae that someone suggested above! He can rap, would work well as an awkward boy, plus looks good enough to be a model.

But Minho is such a poor actor lol. And he's not a very good rapper either (sorry, I do love Shinee, but he's not very talented at either of those things). Don't think I'd watch if he was the lead tbh.
Ooh had forgotten about Hoya! Yeah, the model thing would not really fit him. He's a really good actor though!
But is Kim Min Jae tall enough? I've never seen him rap, does anyone have a link mayhaps? ^^

Cool, thanks! He's not bad, but he's not really riding the rhythm a whole lot? It's more like talking-rapping with an unrelated beat-track in the background. If he learns to ride it more, I think he'd be pretty good though and he's at least much better than most actors would probably be ha :P
ObsessedMuch
April 26, 2017 at 2:14 AM
Yeah he seems alright! Plus if we look at the whole package, I think he is the one who comes the closest!
And yes SIG can rap, but he won't be available what with the army thing going on, and yeah, even if he magically has time, he is 30 now- too old to play a 19 year old.

April 26, 2017 at 2:22 AM
Yeah, he even looked pretty tall on that RS clip, so he probably does come the closest ^^
Lol I keep forgetting about him and Kyuhyun's enlistments, but yeah, had already discounted him due to age. I guess I don't want them to go lol. I need dramas, music, variety shows from them :P I hope Kyuhyun at least gets to do the new season of NJTTW before going. Anyway, hope that SIG does manage to complete his army training, otherwise he'll probably have to end up doing nothing for two years :O

April 26, 2017 at 5:19 AM
@bubbles
I wonder if you will get to read this comment but here is the answer- S. Koreans are really emotional and rigid about the rule of compulsory military enlistment, more so in the case of celebrities. However genuine a case, if a celebrity is unable to go to army because of medical or other reasons, he is considered to be using his "celebrity privileges/ power" and somehow neglecting his duty. Thus, it would be called a scandal.
As @daydee pointed out above- Choi Jin Hyuk came back from his army duty in some months but had to stay away from the limelight till the date his military enlistment would have gotten over. It was only after that that he was able to consider offers etc.
So for a celebrity and their fans, not going to army is worse than going because as long as you go, you can come back a 'hero' or a 'manly man' who has fulfilled his duties to his nation. If not, that image remains for a long time. That's why Jung Il Woo despite his cerebral aneurysm enlisted..
No scandal for SIG right now. He has an injury but he still wants to serve. He is getting tests done and then the future would be decided.
kaybee
April 26, 2017 at 7:46 AM
@bubbles Basically South Koreans take the mandatory military enlistment VERY seriously as they're technically kind of still at war. Some celebs have previously tried to slip past the enlistment, perhaps due to what it'll due to their careers, which obviously doesn't sit very well with the general public. So now most people don't believe it when an actor or singer has a real, medical excuse not to serve. People like Kim Jongkook who the army wouldn't take due to his bad back, have gotten a lot of nasty comments about it since he's such a physical guy that people don't believe it - even though he's uploaded x-rays of his back. Hence, if you, as a celeb, are told that you can't go, it's best to stay off-radar for the two years you were supposed to serve - that way people won't blame you as much for not going and will be more likely to believe the medical excuse was valid. The reasoning of the public being, that if you can work, you can enlist.
(I'm not Korean, so this is just based on observations and what I've read, news articles etc)
Hope it answers your question? :)

Is V(kim taehyun) from BTS is eligible for this role???? I mean I've heard that he can rap,although he's main vocal, but I think can pull off the awkward boy part, plus he can fit the character of being a model,I think.

V comes of as R&B, very soulful kind of voice ans singing, as far as I've seen/heard. His solo track on the "Wings" album is great! At any rate, I hope this adaptation does well. It wasn't on my radar at all until today.

From a hardcore BTS stan here, well he's not too shabby in rapping but some training is needed from his members to make him better. He's still quite green in acting but he can pull off awkward :) (that emotional scene in Hwarang tho :'( heartbreaking).

He can sing well, but don't know about rapping. They usually don't get rap-training if they're training to be singers, even though rappers get singing training.
An idol wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing in this case. They're more likely to know how to rap AND look young enough for the part, plus there are actually several who are really good actors. It's just as varied as with actor-actors - some are good, some are bad. Lots of non-idol actors are truly horrible as well *shrugs*

If they can capture hip hop during that time period and get rap cameos, it'll so great! I agree with previous comments about Kim Min Jae. He's gotten better at acting and showed rapping potential in SMTM4 auditions. I'd also suggest JunHyung (of Highlight, formerly Beast), since both have shown decent acting chops and are rappers by trade, or Hoya (Infinite) but they're both a bit too old now to be playing a 19 year old.

It sounds fun! I've never heard there is hiphop-theme drama in K-dramaland. The only rapper that come into my mind is Kim Minjae since I've watched Romantic Doctor and Twenty Again. But I still doubt him as a lead actor.
Every time there's news about youth K-dramas, the only actor I can think of is Park Bo Gum because he had mentioned in several interviews that he wants to act as a high-schooler. I can already imagine him as shy fanboy and later become a superstar. He's a multi-talented actor but I don't think he has a rapper soul and talent in him. Although I want him to do a more mature role, but the needs to see him back to small screen is much bigger.

Because he is the only person/rapper that totally capable to be a model and also great in acting that I could think about.
Well he might be old, but I think he can pull out the high-school look (remembering Chae Mooshin) and as for the not cool, he is the original bingu so I think he can be as stupid as he always be off or on camera.

There's Baro from B1A4. He was in Angry Mom and played an awkward jerk. lol His rapping is good and he definitely looks young. He's not necessarily the best actor because he's pretty green still, but I think that could help in this type of role anyway. He could always get pointers from Jinyoung.

Well didn't you know Girlfriday, Sungjae can rap. He is not the best at it, but he can rap. He is our Yookduk... *if someone know my references*
The closest we get from rapper background idol actor who can fit as the cast is Baro. He is rapper in B1A4 even though his rap is not considered the best in the industry. Same with Hoya and Minho.
I think if we can't get Sungjae, Ilhoon can be the substitute? He has some acting experience too. Minhyuk too.
TOP is not considered youth, he is in military service anyway. The same with Taecyeon.
Somehow I want to see Junhyung again in dramaland. The last time I see him is in Monstar. But my first choice still Minhyuk BtoB, then Ilhoon then Junghyun.

No way Minhyuk can play the role, he has a movie coming up.
Ilhoon would be a good choice and has that model vibe as well, but I have no idea if he's even interested. Or if they would consider him. They offered the role to his mate Sungjae, who rejected it so swiftly, I doubt they'd be happy to cast someone from the same group after that. Same with Junhyung about interest.

Kim Min Jae. Why ar you so busy these days. This would be perfect for him. He's an actor and a rapper. My first exposure to him was 'Show Me the Money' and although he failed to get through. Boy had some good bars and without the nervousness and a bit more polishing coulda went far. I don't care how busy he is. Cast him!

Following literally everyone else...
Kim Min-Jae! He was good in Goblin, and he knows how to rap for sure. Hopefully they do chose someone that can ride a beat since its always so awkward when actors without musical talent have to play musicians...

I know he doesn't have acting experience, but how about Monsta X's Jooheon? He's a versatile and powerful rapper and is absolutely hilarious on variety shows.

I quite like this story, and I usually enjoy webtoon-to-drama adaptations.
I scanned the names that have been suggested and I like KMJ. ^^ But seems like he's already got a project lined up and will be an unlikely choice?
I know this is far out and he's not an idol, but Jisoo might not be a bad choice. I wouldn't say he's got amazing flow, but he's not too shabby at rapping. He can act and the rapping part can be trained? ??

Not to mention, Jisoo is naturally awkward ? and has the height of a model. ?

As long as they can act. I would prefer acting over rapping. They can learn to rap and use a body double. If they are awesome at rapping but can't act, well ... I'll most likely drop it before I can even see them get to the rapping. If they can find someone who excels at both, then that's great.
