Lack of a male lead for a drama leads to delays.

Popstar Lee Hyori has been looking for a man since the beginning of the year for the drama “Beautiful Days” in which she has a lead role. The filming for the drama is being delayed because a male lead has not been determined yet.

Hyori’s company Mnet Media is directly producing this drama and plans to broadcast the drama in Korean mid-February. One of the reasons that Mnet is being very careful in choosing their male lead is because they plan to market the drama to Japan, China, and the other Asian countries. They want an actor with powerful acting ability and wide acclaim as a star.

Until they find an actor, Lee Hyori is on a break from filming. Hyolee was able to film parts of a performance scene at the Big Four concert last year starring SG Wannabe and other singers but she needs to play opposite the male lead in order to be able to fulfill her role. Never lazy, Hyolee is using the time from this break to go back to her studio in Seoul to work on her singing and dancing, and also to practice her acting skills.

Due to the delays from drama-production, the release of Lee Hyori’s digital single (which was supposed to be yesterday, 1/17) has been postponed till February. The song is integrated into the drama and is to be promoted on music programs simultaneously with the broadcast of the drama. “Beautiful Days” was written by Lee Eunju (who also wrote”불새”[Firebird]) and is headed by CF director Cha EunTaek.
