ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo turns down offer to star in new crime series Bulk

South Korean singer-actor Cha Eun Woo has reportedly turned down the offer to star in new crime series Bulk. The True Beauty actor was previously in talks to star in the crime drama alongside Ha Yun Kyung.

According to Korean tabloid Soompi, Bulk is a crime series in which a police officer, a fixer who is a part of the field’s mainstream, and a prosecutor team up to pursue dark forces against the backdrop of Gangnam at night.

On March 28, Cha Eun Woo’s agency Fantagio confirmed that the actor will not star in the crime drama. “While Cha Eun Woo was discussing his appearance in Bulk, he has decided not to appear,” the agency stated.

The drama comes from director Park Noo Ri and stars Jo Woo Jin while Ha Yun Kyung is reportedly still in talks to star as a prosecutor. The show was scheduled to commence production soon after the completion of its casting and pre-production arrangements.

Meanwhile, Cha Eun Woo’s recent fantasy drama Island ended earlier this month. He will next star in the upcoming webtoon-based drama A Good Day to Be a Dog (working title) opposite Park Gyu Young. The drama will premiere later this year.
