Kim Se Jung has been cast in 'School 2017'.

Originally, Kim Yoo Jung had been considered for the lead role. However, negotiations fell through, and Gugudan's Kim Se Jung will be taking the lead role instead.

She'll be playing Ra Eun Ho, a student with bad grades who dreams of going to a good school as a webtoon artist. 'School 2017' said, "Kim Se Jung's unique leadership and bright personality match well with Ra Eun Ho's character. The more we met her, the more we felt like we were seeing Ra Eun Ho in real life. We're looking forward to her energy and acting potential coming out on 'School 2017'."

'School 2017' is currently in its casting stages, aiming for a July broadcasting date. The series is one of the most representative youth drama series, and the first of the series had aired back in 1999.

OMG LEGIT CALLED THIS. I was getting Eunji vibes from her since Produce 101 and had a feeling she would expand into acting - which I think she could do well in btw since she's a hard worker. Hope this ends up good and that the story is well-written so that it doesn't become some shitty season 2 like IRIS

you're telling me the leads are unexperienced, young, idols?? i love and support sejung [and rowoon as well] but... i hope they're both good at acting. school series is one of my absolute favorites and it would be a shame if it was put to waste.

I hope it'll be good. I like School 2013 the best. Best of luck to both Rowoon and Sejeong :)

Judging from SNL Korea, IOI's CF with Pentagon, and her short part on Sound of Heart, she has the potential, but her characters thus far has felt too Sejeong-ish, it wasn't as if she was playing a character. Hopefully she will do well our God Sejeong <3
