M.I.B's Kangnam to make his acting debut in a new tvN sitcom

Ahead of their pending comeback, M.I.B's Kangnam will be making his acting debut in a new tvN sitcom. On March 11th, tvN's new family sitcom "21st Century Family" is set to have its first broadcast and will reveal Kangnam's first acting challenge.

Curiosity about this casting was amplified as Kangnam will be playing the role of a Japanese-Korean student from Tokyo University, further described as a "four dimensional character". Kangnam's role fits the plot which will be about a modern family composed of a middle aged marrying a younger wife. It will also feature situations related to the modern society and will feature the story about a middle aged man coping with the modern lifestyle of a younger woman. The sitcom will be headed by Song Changui and will start airing tomorrow at 11PM.

Kangnam also revealed his thoughts on the casting and promised that he will be trying his best to show a different side to his fans.

The member is the vocalist in rookie group M.I.B, who made their debut last year with the track "G.D.M". Recently, the group was also featured as the opening for will.i.am's DJ set in South Korea. They are reported to be preparing for their comeback in the music industry after confirming an album release in early April.

I'm curious about this because his Korean isn't the best (I read that the fairly heavy autotune on his solo track was an attempt to cover his accent), so I wonder if he'll be speaking Japanese? Idk. I'm psyched for MIB's comeback though.

I think he probably has an accent, but it doesn't sound that bad to me in this video (http://youtu.be/C-R-_fUa_JI). And he seems pretty confident when he speaks, so I think that's a plus for acting.

Hmm, should be interesting. I'll have to look for a cut of it somewhere...

p.s. this is from when they opened for will.i.am, as it mentions in the article (subbed!)

I just listened to all their songs and they're really good! I especially like their Leessang cover.
