BTS Yuri Confirmed to Make Acting Debut in New Romance Drama Alongside Ji Chang Wook
Sep 25, 2020 by M.Choi
It's official: BTS Yuri will be making her acting debut in KakaoTV's upcoming short-form drama "Lovestruck in the City" alongside Ji Changwook!
After several weeks of rumours of Yuri's possible acting debut and no responses from her company, an announcement was finally put out on September 25th, confirming Yuri for the female-leading role in the drama.
Ji Chang Wook will be playing the role of Park Chae Won, an honest and overly passionate architect who loves the city streets. After a woman that he calls the "camera thief" steals his heart one summer night and then disappears, he is unable to get over her.
Meanwhile, Yuri will be starring as Lee Eun Oh, a freelance marketer who spontaneously decides to adopt a false identity in an unfamiliar place. She accidentally ends up falling in love with Park Chae Won (Ji Chang Wook) while posing as the free-spirited Yoon Sun Ah.
After the confirmation, Yuri took to Twitter to comment, "So... Surprise! I'm excited and honoured to be able to work with such a talented and wonderful director, writer and cast for my first ever drama. Thank you all for your kind words and support, I hope that we will be able to provide a little light in such dark times. Please look forward to Lovestruck in the City and show Eun Oh your love 🤍"
She posted these Behind the Scenes photos of her and the cast to Twitter as well:

user4 what's with all the kpop idols getting into acting??? how much money can you want — user3 jealousy is a disease. hope you get well soon <33
user2 she did so well during the hyyh era that it made grown men sob and those were only music videos so i can only imagine the power she'll hold with an actual drama
user17 yay and all, but is no one concerned about the age gap between the actors? yuri's just a baby. too young... yikes 😬😬 — user3 she's 24? that's a grown adult last time i checked. have you ever thought that you might be the weirdo? — user2 some people just don't understand what acting means
user2 i'll be watching for the plot (yuri is the plot)
user8 plot twist, all of this is just a plan to climb her way up the acting industry and eventually get cast in a drama with park seojun
