Singer and actress Jung Eun-ji, who is also known as Eunji of K-pop girl group Apink, will be joining OCN's upcoming mystery series, "Blind."
The actress' agency IST Entertainment announced, Tuesday, that Jung has confirmed her role as a social worker in the series.
The mystery thriller series will follow the story of those who have fallen victim to different crimes, their offenders, and those who try to catch the offenders.
Jung will play the character, Cho Eun-ji, who has her fair share of struggles in her life and is uncompromising in helping children in need of social welfare support.
Actors Ok Taec-yeon and Ha Seok-jin have already confirmed their lead roles in the series. Ok will be playing detective Ryu Sung-joon, who confronts evil with justice, and Ha will be playing judge Ryu Sung-hoon, who is a coolheaded perfectionist.
The series is directed by Shin Yong-hwi, whose previous work includes the 2017 thriller series, "Tunnel," and the mystery crime series, "Voice 4" (2021), and is scripted by Kwon Gi-gyeong, who wrote the romance series, "Andante" (2017).
"Blind" is the first TV series by entertainment agency Fantagio, which manages K-pop group Astro and Weki Meki, as well as singer and actor Ong Seong-wu. The company signed a co-production deal with Studio Dragon earlier this month to produce this series.
"Blind" is scheduled to air in the latter half of this year.
Jung debuted as a member of Apink in 2011 and has released a string of hits, including "Mr. Chu" (2014), "NoNoNo" (2015) and "LUV" (2015). She made her way into acting with the lead role in the hit tvN series, "Reply 1997," in 2012.
Last October, she played the lead role in Tving's original series, "Work Later, Drink Now," which was a success on the platform and earned a second season.
