Former GFRIEND member Sowon (called by her real name Kim So Jung henceforth) has also been roped in as the female lead for a new horror rom-com.

iKON’s Chanwoo breaks his nine-year acting hiatus in Kim So Jung’s acting debut
On September 30, Kyeongsang Ilbo reported that iKON’s Chanwoo and Kim So Jung have been confirmed as the leads for the upcoming horror romantic-comedy. The news spread like wildfire as Chilling Co-Habitation marks a significant milestone for both idols.
For iKON’s Chanwoo, this marks his return to the small screen after almost nine years. His last TV series was the famous The Heirs, where he played the younger version of the lead Lee Min Ho released in December 2013.
For Kim So Jung, this cine-rama marks her acting debut after her group GFRIEND ended their contract with Source Music and disbanded in May 2021.
Chilling Co-Habitation revolves around the hilarious romantic journey of Jung Se Ri and Song Ji Chan. So Jung will essay the role of Jung Se Ri, a bright character struggling with her ability to see ghosts. Chanwoo will portray Song Ji Chan, a selfish second-generation chaebol (part of a large conglomerate family with government ties) who turns into a ghost after an accident.
The reports reveal Chanwoo “perfectly portrayed the character with stable lines and rich emotional acting” on the script reading day, making fans even more proud and curious to see him back on screen.
The show will focus on their opposite personalities as they end up living together and eventually fall in love. Other actors in the cast include Kim Ye Ji, Song Young Sook, Lee Yoo Jin, Joo Soo Kyung and more.
