Hwang Min Hyun may be the new face of tvN’s upcoming drama Iseop’s Romance, with the actor reportedly offered the male lead role previously intended for Lee Jong Suk. However, his casting has not been officially confirmed yet, leaving fans waiting for the final decision.
The potential casting comes after Lee Jong Suk stepped away from the project earlier this month due to changes in the production schedule. With the drama now going through a major casting reshuffle, Hwang Min Hyun has emerged as a possible replacement for the highly anticipated role.
Hwang Min Hyun Offered Lee Jong Suk’s Role In Iseop’s Romance
According to reports, Hwang Min Hyun has received an offer to play Tae I Seop, the male protagonist of Iseop’s Romance. His agency, PLEDIS Entertainment, confirmed that he had received the offer but stressed that nothing had been decided at the time of the report.
The role was originally set to be played by Lee Jong Suk. The actor had previously been attached to the drama but withdrew after production schedule changes. The project is now moving forward with both of its principal roles being recast. If Hwang Min Hyun accepts, the drama would mark another major step in his acting career as he takes on a lead role in a highly anticipated tvN project.
The Drama Is Going Through A Major Casting Change
Hwang Min Hyun’s potential casting follows another major change in the female lead position. Choi Yoon Ji, who had reportedly been considered for the female lead, also withdrew from the project on September 11 due to scheduling conflicts.
This means Iseop’s Romance is currently rebuilding its central cast after losing both actors who had been linked to its lead roles. The drama is based on the work of Kim Eon Hee and shares a fictional universe with A Casual Lie. Lee Jun Hyuk is set to appear in that series as Tae Jun Seop, connecting the two projects within the same story world.

What’s Next For Iseop’s Romance?
For now, Hwang Min Hyun’s appearance in Iseop’s Romance remains unconfirmed. His agency has only acknowledged that he received an offer, so viewers will have to wait for an official casting announcement before considering him the new male lead.
The drama has already attracted attention because of its previous connection to Lee Jong Suk, and the latest casting development is likely to add another layer of anticipation. If Hwang accepts the role, fans will be watching closely to see how he approaches Tae I Seop and whether the new cast can bring the project’s romance story to life.
