Kim Hyun Joong turns down leading role offer for 'Speed'

Posted by chloejn6 pts Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Recently, we reported that Kim Hyun Joong was offered the lead role in TV Chosun's upcoming drama, 'Speed'. It's now been revealed that the star had declined the part due to a cramped schedule. On December 7th, director Shin Je Kwang of KeyEast Entertainment said, "It's a good work so we examined it, however, Kim Hyun Joong will be releasing a Japanese album in January and plans to move into Chinese promotions in February and March. Therefore, it has been decided that working on a drama with his current schedule would be too much." 'Speed' is scheduled to air in March and April of next year. Yang Yun Ho (of KBS2TV's 'Iris' fame) will directing this drama about competitive race car drivers and their crossed fates. While Kim Hyun Joong has declined the offer, actor Lee Jung Jae and SNSD's Sooyoung have signed on for the series. Source: OSEN via Nate
