Voluptuous actress Lee Tae-im, 30, will join new drama “You’ll Love Me,” six months after dropping out of all her TV shows.

Lee stepped down after allegedly abusing idol girl singer Kim Ye-won. Reports said Lee abused Kim while recording “My Tutor Friend” on Feb. 24. Lee allegedly thought Kim talked down to her, which program staff denied. Lee was criticized for her misbehavior, but the situation turned in her favor when video of the moment Lee argued with Kim was disclosed a month later.

In the video, Kim provoked Lee into the quarrel, saying “You don’t like me, right?”

Lee said she felt embarrassed and regretted the incident with Kim.

“I should have acted better than that as a senior,” she said during a press meeting.

The new drama will air on Drama H, a Hyundai Media cable channel. Lee will play Park Ji-ho, an idle young woman who dreams of becoming a drama writer.
