Controversial new SBS drama “The Seven Of Us” due out early next year; cast revealed

Back in February, SBS revealed their plans to adapt the 2009 controversial bestselling novel “The Unfortunate Parks”. While public appetite for the book was high, many found some of the more adult content unsuitable for Korean television. After a lengthy battle with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Families, production of the newly titled "The Seven Of Us" was finally green-lit in late October.

The drama will revolve around the lives of the Park siblings: a Korean American family struggling to keep it together after the untimely deaths of their parents. First born Michael {played by Norazo’s Lee Hyuk, in his acting debut} is a failed lawyer who turns to alcohol to cope with his crumbling marriage & sudden responsibility of his six siblings, Timothy {played by ex TRAX drummer turned actor No Min Woo} comes to terms with his sexuality, college student Claire {played by White Entertainment singer Jessica Jiyeon} deals with a sexual assault & an unplanned pregnancy which results in a tragic decision, 16 year old Adam attempts to lead a normal life after the accident that took his parent’s lives also leaves him partially blind, while his identical twin Philip gets caught up in a dangerous lifestyle that leads to fatal consequences {played by YG Entertainment dancers Kwon Young Don & Kwon Young Deuk, aka “The Kwon Twins” - also making their acting debut}.

The producers have promised not to shy away from the provocative story lines, and plan on taking advantage of the late night time slot to avoid offending those with more conventional sensibilities.

A planned 16 episodes will air on SBS Mondays & Tuesdays at 10:55 pm starting on January 16th.

Everything you need to know about "Rocker Princess"!

Jessica Jiyeon is set to rock the big screen as the lead in the new musical Rocker Princess! AllKFlop got the full scoop with the film’s director Yoon Yoo Wei on the all star cast!

“Jesscia plays Sol: a humble princess who is cast out of her home, after her father dies a month shy of her 21st birthday - after which she becomes queen - by her spiteful stepmother, played by Lena Park. She ends up on the streets of Seoul where she befriends Lee, the leader of a rock band called The Electrocutes, played by Jinwoon.” Yoon Yoo Wei explained, “Our goal was to take a familiar story and give it a Korean twist. Every culture has their spin on a fairy tale. This is mine.”

Actress Park Eun Bin best known for her role as Go Hye Sung -age 16- in the "Dream High" finale plays Lee’s younger sister Mina, The Electrocutes’ drummer.

“Imagine a Korean White Stripes and you pretty much have Lee & Mina in a nutshell!" Yoo Wei laughed “Eun Bin is pretty energetic on the drum set, so forget the Meg White comparison…Oh! And they’re siblings, not married! Aigoooo! Please forgive me!^^”

Girl’s Day’s Hyeri & A Pink’s Eunji play the roles of the evil stepsisters.

The supporting cast boasts a number of K-Rock & K-Indie acts: Black Skirts’ lead singer Johyuil plays The Electrocutes' bassist, while TRAX, The RockTigers, CN BLUE, & Neon Bunny occupy lesser roles. 2AM's Jo Kwon makes a guest appearance as Sol's "fairy godfather".

Many have questioned why majority of the film’s songs are in English. Yoo Wei explains “Why not? We all have grown up with Western influences. The actors that can’t speak English well or at all have been given passes. I believe Engrish can be endearing, don’t you? Have you heard that clip of Narsha speaking to the American over the phone? I rest my case!” he laughs.

The film is due out on September 1st!
