Pentagon's Hongseok has been cast in the upcoming MBN drama 'The Best Chicken'.

On December 12, reports revealed Hongseok has joined the cast of the Wednesday-Thursday drama series 'The Best Chicken', a romantic-comedy about young adults who chase their dreams, alongside previously confirmed cast members Park Sun Ho, former IOI member Kim So Hye, and Joo Woo Jae.  

The Pentagon member is taking on the role of troublemaker chicken restaurant employee Bae Ki Bum, who's more mouthy than is good for him yet still lovable. Hongseok previously starred in the 2017 movie 'My Last Love'.

'The Best Chicken' premieres on MBN and Dramax on January 2 at 11PM KST.
