[SBS Star] Nam Joo Hyuk Confirms to Lead a New Fantasy Drama Series

Korean actor Nam Joo Hyuk has confirmed to lead a new fantasy drama series.

On March 8, Netflix's upcoming original series 'Ahn Eun-young, the School Nurse' (literal title) revealed that they have cast Nam Joo Hyuk as one of the main characters 'Hong In-pyo'.

Last month, it was announced that actress Jung Yu-mi confirmed to play the role of another main character 'Ahn Eun-young'. Based an award-winning novel of the same name, the story of 'Ahn Eun-young, the School Nurse' centers around a school nurse Ahn Eun-young, who is able to perform exorcism.

When she takes on a job at a new high school, she discovers something mysterious there and tries to perform exorcism in uncommon and comical ways. Nam Joo Hyuk's character Hong In-pyo is a teacher at the school who teaches Chinese characters.

Hong In-pyo is protected by an incredible aura of spiritual energy surrounding him, and he uses that to help Ahn Eun-young evict evil spirits. Meanwhile, 'Ahn Eun-young, the School Nurse' is scheduled to be unveiled in the first half of next year.
