Korean actor Park Sung-hoon has stirred controversy due to mistakenly sharing footage from the AV version of 'Squid Game.' Despite apologizing and expressing remorse, the issue continues to escalate. His anticipated collaboration on a new drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' with Yoona has thus been canceled. According to the latest reports from Korean media, the role might be taken over by actor Lee Chae-min, who is 15 years younger.
According to Korean media reports, following the news that Lee Chae-min might replace Park Sung-hoon, his agency responded on the 13th saying: “Lee Chae-min is actively considering the proposal to star in 'The Tyrant's Chef.'” This confirms he has become a candidate for the male lead in the drama.
Lee Chae-min was born in 2000 and is 25 years old this year, with a 10-year age difference from the female lead Yoona. The originally selected Park Sung-hoon was born in 1985, making him 15 years older than Lee Chae-min. Lee Chae-min officially debuted in 2021 through the drama 'High-Class' and gained recognition as the main character in Netflix's 'The Ladder of Fame.' He has also appeared in 'Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow,' 'Crash Course in Romance,' and 'See You in My 19th Life.'
