On August 25, MBC announced the production of a new Friday-Saturday drama titled "White Scandal," with Song Kang and Kim So-hyun as the main stars. The two previously worked together in Netflix's "Love Alarm" Seasons 1 and 2 from 2019 to 2021.


Based on a webtoon of the same name, "White Scandal" tells the story of a third-generation chaebol heir who does not want to inherit the family business and a former child actress whose career has plummeted. The two begin a fake relationship, each with their own ulterior motives, and unexpected events unfold.


Song Kang will play Dan Ihyuk, who leads a double life as both a top star and a chaebol heir. Kim So-hyun will portray Ji Eunseol, a once-promising child actress who is now working as a manager.



The script is written by writer Kim Gaeun, known for "Call It Love," while director Kim Chul-gyu, who created "Mother," "Flower of Evil," and "Celebrity," will take the helm.
