Park Hong Gyun PD recently resigned from MBC Entertainment and worked on MBC dramas The Great Queen Seondeok, The Greatest Love, and Warm and Cozy. He will officially be joining YG Entertainment by May.
YG Entertainment has also joined forces with the company formerly known as The Wind Blows, who worked on 2013 hit drama That Winter, the Wind Blows. YG Entertainment is also no stranger to the drama industry, co-producing Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.
YG Entertainment is home to actors Cha Seung Won, Kang Dong Won, Lee Sung Kyung, Nam Joo Hyuk, and more. The company is expected to start full-scale preparations for a new drama in the very near future.
