The role offered to Go Hyun Jung is that of Kang Soo Hyun, the CEO of an entertainment company that has trained a male trainee named Yoo Jin Woo for an extended period.
Initially motivated by personal gain, her intentions towards the trainee transform, and she endeavours to assist him in making his debut.
As of now, there are no reports on the actor who will portray the character of Yoo Jin Woo, the talented male trainee facing difficulties in making his debut.
“Namib” is a collaboration between director Jung Da Won, known for works like “Miss & Mrs. Cops” and “Garak Market Revolution,” and writer Um Sung Min.
