Ha Joon is confirmed to be the male lead of the upcoming weekend K-drama Hyo Shim’s Independent Life.
It was officially confirmed on June 9 that Ha Joon will work closely with UEE for the upcoming KBS 2TV weekend K-drama Hyo Shim’s Independent Life.
Hyo Shim’s Independent Life will revolve around a family who will have to live an independent life away from their daughter Hysoim, who devoted her whole life to them.
Ha Joon will play the role of Kang Tae Ho. He is the planning director of a conglomerate group. He left South Korea to study. 20 years after, he returned to the country despite being scouted by a leading U.S. company to find out the truth.
The production team shared, "Ha Joon who has the looks, voice, and beautiful smile that everyone loves is an actor with a solid side that you can lean on. His character Tae Ho full of charm will be a strong support for Hyo Sim who had no time to think about herself and has been dedicating and sacrificing her life for her family."
Hyo Shim’s Independent Life will be directed by Kim Hyung Il (The King of Tears, Lee Bang Won and Brilliant Heritage) and written by Jo Jung Seon (Mother of Mine and School 4).
The upcoming K-drama will reportedly air in the second half of 2023. It will be the follow-up after The Real Has Come! concludes.
This will be the second upcoming K-drama of Ha Joon for the year. The actor will also join the upcoming K-drama Destined With You led by SF9's Rowoon, Jo Bo Ah, Girls Day's Yura, Hyun Bong Sik, and Park Kyung Hye. He will also star in the upcoming film More Painful Than Sadness with Lee Jun Young, Hoon, Lee Ja Eun, Kim Ye Ryung, and Son Byung Ho.
