EXID's Hani And Kim Min Kyu Are 2 Idol Group Leaders Facing Opposite Problems In "IDOL: The Coup"

Nov 06, 2021

JTBC’s upcoming drama “IDOL: The Coup” has shared a glimpse of the chemistry between EXID’s Hani and Kim Min Kyu!

“IDOL: The Coup” is a new drama about idols who have failed to reach stardom and are struggling to let go of their unachieved dreams. The star-studded cast will include Kwak Si Yang, Hani, Kim Min Kyu, LABOUM‘s Solbin, WJSN‘s Exy, former X1 member Lee Eun Sang, former RAINZ member Hong Eun Ki, Jo Joon Young, Redsquare’s Green, Han So Eun, and Baek Seo Hoo.

Hani will star in the drama as Jenna, the leader of girl group Cotton Candy, while Kim Min Kyu will play Jihan, the leader of boy group Mars. Although both groups belong to the same agency, the two labelmates’ circumstances couldn’t be more different: while Cotton Candy is still struggling to gain recognition in the sixth year of their career and is widely considered a failure, Mars is a top-tier group that has already achieved massive popularity.

In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, both leaders are struggling with their own problems. Jenna is desperate to find work and fill up her schedule in order to promote Cotton Candy however she can, regardless of what the gig entails or where it takes her. On the other hand, Jihan is exhausted from his unforgivingly jam-packed schedule, and he is desperate for a much-needed break.

Although Jenna and Jihan are each facing their own struggles, some of the weight on their shoulders seems to be lifted during a happy moment together. In a photo of the two idols hanging out, Jihan is unable to hold back a huge smile, raising the question of where the relationship between two labelmates might lead.
