The Korean version of hit American TV series "Entourage" has revealed its cast.
"Entourage Korea" features Seo Kang-jun (from tvN drama "Cheese in the Trap"), Cho Jin-woong (from 2015 blockbuster movie "Assassination"), Yim Si-wan (from tvN hit TV drama "Misaeng") and Lee Kwang-soo (from variety show "Running Man" on SBS) as the four main characters. They have started filming the drama that will air in June on tvN.
HBO's "Entourage" premiered in 2004 and ended in 2011 after eight seasons. The series portrayed the acting career of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) ― a popular movie star ― and his childhood friends from Queens in New York City as they strive to thrive in Hollywood.

The series, featuring Hollywood stars and athletes as special guests and in cameo roles, took a real-life look at the Hollywood lifestyle and show-business industry. Another recurring theme was the importance of male friendship over work.
"Entourage Korea" is expected to work on the same themes by satirizing Korea's show-business industry.
