On the 7th, FNC Entertainment confirmed that Hongki will be playing the lead role Lee Min Ki in 'Modern Farmer (working title)'. The drama talks about a rock band member going back to live on the farm. Hongki's character is a genius rocker that is the leader, vocalist, and guitarist of the rock band 'Excellent Souls' (shortened, apparently, to EXO or EX-SO, but in Korean the spelling and pronunciation are the same - '??').
