 Edits:

Ha! Just days after refuting the rumors, it has been announced that 23-year-old DBSK singer U-Know Yunho is indeed making his acting debut in the soccer drama Heading to the Ground [맨땅에 헤딩].

The singer, born Jung Yun-ho, takes on the character of “Cha Bong-kun,” a role recently vacated by Kim Rae-won because of Kim’s mandatory army obligation. To achieve the impossible goal of making it as a national player, the character pours all his passion into realizing the dream. While he “has nothing to his name, the drama tells the miraculous success story of passionate soccer player Cha Bong-kun.”

U-Know Yunho said of the role, “I really like the character of Cha Bong-kun. Reading the script, my heart overflowed with emotion. I want to act that feeling with sincerity.”

Heading to the Ground follows the Wednesday-Thursday horror drama Hon on MBC and premieres on September 9. No confirmation yet on the casting of his love interest, although Go Ara remains in contention

Yay for yunho!!♥

So I guess SM/AVEX really intends to give DBSK a chance to do solo stuff for the meantime both in Japan and Korea. I see this as a very good move to let the boys grow as individual to team up again later in the year with more experience and knowledge to make an even stronger DBSK.

I just wonder how individual work will be distributed.

[june-natsuyuki.livejournal.com]

i'm amazed at how he still has time for acting.

[mihsayam.livejournal.com]

If you look at their schedule, until December hits, they won't be very busy.

[belle-loon.livejournal.com]

where the hell is heaven's postmand D:

[belle-loon.livejournal.com]

[karlaxjaejoong.livejournal.com]

So it's rumor after all..? Oh well *sighs*

[loveisdesire.livejournal.com]

Apparently it's been confirmed =/

[crypticbluerose.livejournal.com]

F* yeah, hope the rumor materializes.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

I don't know about his acting skills, but I can't wait.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

Lol I hope it's not a rumor though. :

[aprettyeternity.livejournal.com]

Lol this was debunked yesterday. @_@

[peekaboolove.livejournal.com]

hm.. confuzzled truth/rumor we will see in time =/
if he is going to film jj will b oh so lonely without yunho oppa~

other than heaven's postman was dating on earth ever released? o.O

[changhomin.livejournal.com]

dating on earth was supposed to be released last year in September? But it was cancelled T^T

[girlmeetsyume.livejournal.com]

I'm so confused. I was reading all the other comments here saying it's a rumor, but then I just checked over at Dramabeans and her newest entry says it's confirmed.

Yay!? Yunho is my favorite DBSKer and generally my favorite man in KPop altogether, but I'm a bit worried how this will affect him as he's busy as it is. He needs to rest like a normal human being!

And while there isn't any confirmation there have been rumors of Go Ara being the female lead. I like her, so I'm not too worried. I really hope this isn't another 'false alarm' type deal. I really want to see him acting. :D

[iheartdarkblue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just saw Dramabeans' post too.
I feel sort of scared for him, for some odd reason.
I really thought Go Ara was really cute when I watched "Who are you?", so I am excited as well.

Question for you guys;

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

If Yunho had to kiss someone, how would you react? I'm just curious.
I mean, a lot of people were freaking out over the Jae one in Heaven's Postman lol.

Re: Question for you guys;

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

It's okay. He can kiss whoever he wants, boy or girl. But that's just me. :)

[wildcosmos.livejournal.com]

is this the one go ara may be the female lead in? because if so... i will ttly ship yunho/ara. *___*

still waiting for yoochun's professor/student taboo drama to air. T____T never gonna happen...

[spidersky.livejournal.com]

Ara is most likely going to get the role but she hasn't officially accepted yet.

[jia-zhang.livejournal.com]

Before we even consider this real...

[changhomin.livejournal.com]

Ah, well good for Yunho <3. But, a soccer drama...sounds boring -o-! Nevertheless, congrats Yunho <3. Hero's drama sounds better though ^^;;

[missjoongie.livejournal.com]

[steofrh.livejournal.com]

[hoyah.livejournal.com]
