The upcoming drama “Prometheus” confirmed that the Korean-American actor, who is best-known for his role in the popular “Maze Runner” film series, had officially joined its cast.

The drama’s producers announced, “Hollywood actor Ki Hong Lee has been cast as a CIA agent. We are looking forward to his appearance [in the production], which we expect will give rise to an even more realistic drama.” Although Ki Hong Lee was first offered the role of CIA agent Frank Lee eight months ago, the actor was reportedly especially careful in considering the offer because he had never appeared in a Korean drama before.

“Prometheus,” which will also star Ha Ji Won, Jin Goo, and Park Ki Woong, is a spy thriller about the unexpected disappearance of three North Korean scientists and the international politics involved in the tense, complicated situation.

The drama is scheduled to begin filming in late September and is currently aiming for a premiere sometime in the first half of 2019.

Huh, that's interesting. I wonder what made him want to do a Kdrama. I don't really know him from anything, I did watch Maze Runner but I've forgotten how those go already

Whenever I see Ki-Hong Lee, my brain has to re-Koreanize the name order just to know what his name really is? Lee KiHong sounds so much better to me

Ki Hong Lee is Lee Hong Ki backwards and so I sometimes misread his name as FTI's Hongki lolol
