WartaGate.com - South Korean actor and idol Park Ji Hoon has officially decided not to join tvN’s upcoming drama Promoter.

The news quickly drew attention from fans after Korean media outlets reported that he had turned down the lead role previously offered by the production team.

His agency, YY Entertainment, also confirmed the decision. They stated that Park Ji Hoon had declined the offer to star in the drama after careful consideration.

Although the decision has been confirmed, the agency did not reveal the detailed reason behind the actor’s choice to pass on the project. This has made many fans curious, especially since “Promoter” is said to have an interesting concept.

The tvN drama is reportedly centered around the world of boxing and the life of a boxer. The project has also attracted attention because it is being directed by Lee Jong Suk, who is known for films such as The Negotiation and Forbidden Fairytale.

Even though he will not appear in “Promoter,” Park Ji Hoon is currently still greeting viewers through the drama The Legend of Kitchen Soldier. In the series, he plays Kang Seong Jae, a young man from a modest family who joins the military and becomes involved in a mysterious mission at a military base.

The character has attracted attention for combining military life with unique cooking skills. His role as a cook in the military setting gives the drama a different feel compared to typical Korean military-themed dramas.

Aside from his drama activities, Park Ji Hoon has also recently enjoyed success through the film The King's Warden, which was released earlier this year. Thanks to his performance in the movie, he won the Best New Actor award at the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards.

With his popularity continuing to rise, many fans are now eagerly waiting to see what new project Park Ji Hoon will choose after turning down “Promoter.”
