MBC who banned actor Ju Ji Hoon 4 years ago because of his drug scandal, decided to lift the ban and cast him in their upcoming drama ‘Medical Top Team.’
MBC announced that Ju Ji Hoon has been cast as Han Seung Jae, a doctor of internal medicine. He will be acting besides Kwon Sang Woo, SHINee‘s Minho and Jung Ryeo Won, who was also recently cast.
Ju Ji Hoon commented, “I’m very happy to work on a good project with great staff. I plan on focusing more on the inner character of Han Seung Jae instead of just showing his outer side. I’m anticipating that this drama will show a different color than the general medical drama.”
The actor was arrested by Seoul Metropolitan Police on drug charges on April 27th, 2009. He was arrested along with 15 people and an actress identified as Yoon on suspicion of supplying ecstasy. He was thenv pleaded guilty in court to drug use of ecstasy and ketamine. He was sentenced to six months of jail time, suspended for one year, 120 hours of community service, and a fine of 360,000 won.
‘Medical Top Team’ is scheduled for October. This will be Ju Ji Hoon’s first MBC drama since ‘Goong‘ back in 2006.
