TVXQ's U-Know Yunho will be starring in MBC's Wed-Thurs drama Heading to the Ground (Without Preparation) as Cha Bong Goon. While the role was originally supposed to be played by actor Kim Rae Won, he was unable to take on the role because he received his enlistment notice. The first episode of this upcoming drama with TVXQ's leader will air on 9th September!
In the drama, U-Know Yunho's character, Cha Bong Goon lives an unhappy life, having almost died three times in his life. However, as a lover of soccer, he aspires to become a professional national player. Eventually, with the passion he has for the sport, he overcomes the obstacles in his path and accomplishes his goal. This drama will show viewers a heartwarming story of his success and how he overcomes his obstacles.
Upon being selected, U-Know Yunho stated, "I really like Cha Bong Goon's character. When I read the script, my heart was touched. I want to express this acting honestly."
