Boys Republic To Star In 'Alchemist' Web Drama Alongside KARA's Youngji

Three members of Boys Republic will be entangled in a story of campus romance with KARA's Youngji in the new web drama Alchemist.

Leader Lee Suwoong will play as the rapper Minwoo. Lead vocalist Choi Sunwoo will play as the mysterious Youngil. And main dancer and lead rapper Sungjun will show off his funny side and provide comic relief as the same-named character Sungjun.

"We're very happy that we get to appear with our members, but it is our first time acting, so we're also burdened mentally because we want to show a good image. As much as [we are burdened], we are working hard," said the Boys Republic in a statement following the casting announcement, reports Allkpop.

Alchemist will tell the story of a 20-something female college student who falls in love with a senior and gets involved in a secret society.

Last month, KARA's newest member Youngji was announced as playing the female lead character in the web drama that will air on MBC Everyone.

At the time of Youngji's confirmation as the lead female, the show was said to be in the planning stage.

Boys Republic made their most recent comeback last June with the single "Hello" while KARA returned assu a four-member group with "Cupid" in late May.
