TVXQ's U-Know (Jung Yunho) is in discussion to return to promotions through the upcoming JTBC drama "Race."
On June 2nd, several media outlets reported that U-Know will be joining the cast of "Race." He will reportedly work together with former labelmate Lee Yun Hee, Hong Jong Hyun, and Moon So Ri.
U-Know's agency SM Entertainment responded to the reports. They stated that U-Know indeed receive the offer to star in the drama. He is considering the offer positively.
"Race" will revolve around the politics happening in the office. It will showcase the journey of marketer Park Yoon Jo who's dedicated to working, and Ryu Jae Min, a smart employee who doesn't have any expectations in the company.
The series will be directed by Kim Roo Ri ("Hyena" and "The Ace").
