On November 3, it was reported by media outlet OSEN that actor Jung Hae In is currently considering an offer to star in tvN’s upcoming romantic comedy-drama titled Mom’s Friend’s Son (literal title). In response to this report, Jung Hae In’s agency, FNC Entertainment, confirmed that he has indeed received an offer to star in the drama Mom’s Friend’s Son and is currently in the process of reviewing it.

Mom’s Friend’s Son is a fresh romantic comedy project helmed by director Yoo Je Won and penned by writer Shin Ha Eun, who was also part of the team behind the popular rom-com, slice-of-life drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. The production team plans to begin filming in the first half of the upcoming year, and the drama is slated for a 2024 premiere.

If Jung Hae In does join the cast of Mom’s Friend’s Son, it will mark his debut in the romantic-comedy genre. Despite nearly a decade in the industry since his debut, the actor has not explored the world of lighthearted and sweet romantic comedies until now. This will give fans a chance to witness the actor in a new setting.
