Former IZ*ONE member Kim Min Ju is confirmed to join the new MBC K-drama starring Seo Kang Joon and Jin Ki Joo.
On November 13, Kim Min Ju's agency Management SOOP confirmed that the idol actress will star in the upcoming K-drama Undercover High School.
Undercover High School will reveal the journey of Jung Hae Sung who hid his identity as a National Intelligence Service agent and goes undercover as a high school student to locate the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong’s missing gold bullion.
The upcoming K-drama will be the collaboration work of director Choi Jung In (Knight Flower and On the Verge of Insanity) and writer Im Young Bin (Bad Prosecutor and Sketch).

Kim Min Ju will portray the role of Lee Ye Na in the series. She is the only daughter of the chairman of the school and the student council president.
