Lee Chae-min and Park Sung-hoon fill the vacancy..."I'm reviewing positively after being suggested as 'Chef of a Tyrant'".

An official of Lee Chae-min's agency's gold medalist said in a phone call with YTN today (13th), "Actor Lee Chae-min has been offered an appearance in the drama 'Chef of the Tyrant' and is positively considering it."

The Tyrant's Chef' is a fantasy romance drama that takes place when a time-slip French chef meets the king, the worst tyrant and the best gourmet, and Park Sung-hoon was scheduled to be the male lead.

However, after Park Sung-hoon was caught up in controversy by posting a photo of a cover of Japanese pornography that appeared to be an unauthorized parody of the Netflix series "Squid Game" on his SNS, there were a flurry of demands among Internet users to drop the next film.

Eventually, Studio Dragon, the production company of "The Tyrant's Chef," said on the 12th, "After discussions, the production team and actor Park Sung-hoon decided that it would be difficult to do this work, "The Tyrant's Chef." Since then, Lee Chae-min has been mentioned as an alternative actor.

Lee Chae-min debuted in the tvN drama "High Class" in 2021 and appeared in a variety of works, including "The Speed to You 493km," "The Il-Ta Scandal," "Please Take Care of My Life, too," and "High Rakhi." Attention is focusing on whether he will finally fill Park Sung-hoon's vacancy.
