Actor and singer Cha Eun-woo is back on his acting schedule after his last K-drama True Beauty, which was released over two years ago. His upcoming series, Island, has been produced by TVING and is set to air on December 30, 2022. The K-drama is expected to be a fantasy series where three people fight against the world's destructive evils.
As per AsianWiki, the official synopsis of Island states:
"Won Mi Ho is the only daughter of her father who runs Daehan Group. Her arrogant and selfish attitude causes her to make a big mistake that eventually angers her father into banishing her to Jeju island."
It further continues:
"There, she is assigned to work as a high school ethics teacher. Unbeknownst to her, the island is where evil roams free. She meets other individuals on the island and together, the characters join forces to live."
Following the release of the trailer and teaser images, fans of Cha Eun-woo took to Twitter to praise his visuals as he put on his priest robe for the K-drama. Given that this is unlike anything the ASTRO member has starred in before, fans are intrigued to see another dimension of him as an actor.

Island is based on a webtoon written by Yoon In-wan and Yang Kyung-il. It was first released back in 2016 and went on till 2018. Since the webtoon was well-received by the readers, it has now evolved into a full-fledged K-drama that is slated to be released later this month.
