Kim Min Kyu and Go Bo Gyeol Boast Adorable Idol and Fan Chemistry In New "The Heavenly Idol" Posters

Jan 17, 2023

tvN’s upcoming drama “The Heavenly Idol” has unveiled fun posters of its leading pair!

Adapted from a popular webtoon and web novel, “The Heavenly Idol” tells the story of High Priest Rembrary, who one day suddenly finds himself in the body of unknown idol Woo Yeon Woo, a member of the group Wild Animal. Kim Min Kyu will star as High Priest Rembrary, while Go Bo Gyeol will play the role of Wild Animal’s manager and Woo Yeon Woo’s No. 1 fan Kim Dal.

The first poster features Rembrary as the underrated idol Woo Yeon Woo inside a colorfully decorated card sleeve. Unlike how a typical idol would pose, the High Priest looks at the sky with his hands clasped tightly as if he’s praying earnestly. While the holy atmosphere does capture the dignity of the Pontifex, his serious and desperate expression contrasts hilariously with the cutesy decorations around the card sleeve.

The caption on the top right of the poster reads, “Dear God, please make me successful as an idol,” heralding the start of Rembrary’s heavenly yet chaotic journey as he figures out how to adapt and make it big in the entertainment industry.

The second poster shows the lovely Kim Dal winking as she proudly flexes her precious idol’s photo card. However, the caption above the photo card in question hints at her confusion when she notices that her favorite idol has seemingly turned into a different person. The text, which has an arrow pointing at Woo Yeon Woo, reads, “My bias… has become a little weird.”

Finally, the drama also released a third and special poster: to commemorate the adaptation’s upcoming premiere, the original webtoon artist of “The Heavenly Idol” personally drew a “webtoon version” of Rembrary’s poster.

From Rembrary’s desperate gaze to his fingertips and eyebrow shape, the special poster boasts a striking synchronization to the real one, raising anticipation to see what other fun adaptations from the webtoon viewers can expect in the upcoming drama.
