More about White Scandal

White Scandal is moving into production as its cast lineup continues to take shape. Adapted from a popular web novel, the series features a script by Kim Ga‑eun, with directing led by Kim Cheol‑gyu. Casting talks are wrapping up, and filming is planned for later this year after Song Kang wraps his current shoot.

White Scandal is adapted from a widely read web novel, and production discussions are advancing. The plot follows Ji Eun-seol, once a recognized child actress with a rising profile. However, her career collapses instantly after she accepts blame for her brother’s offense. Thus, her public image deteriorates, and she steps away from the spotlight. She later works as a road manager.

Moreover, her path crosses with Dan Hyuk, a man closely tied to the former controversy. The two establish a contractual partnership. Through this arrangement, concealed details about the past gradually emerge. Furthermore, the narrative explores the incident that reshaped their lives.

Kim So Hyun is preparing for her 2026 lineup with a rom-com K-drama Love Doctor. She portrays Im Yu-jin, a graduate scholar who advances into robotics research. In 2025, she led Good Boy. Therefore, her screen activity has continued without a prolonged interruption. As for Song Kang, he concluded mandatory military service on October 1 last year. He enlisted in April 2024, thus pausing professional projects for roughly eighteen months. The actor will return this year with a music-themed tvN series, Four Hands.
