[NEWS] JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong To Possibly Take On Role As Lawyer In Upcoming Drama
JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong may be appearing in his first drama after being discharged from mandatory military service last year!
A source from his agency C-JeS stated, “He has received an offer to star in the four-episode drama ‘Invisible Man’ (literal translation) and is considering the offer. Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“Invisible Man” tells the story of a man and a woman who relive the connection between his grandfather, a famous photographer, and her grandmother, the last woman the photographer loved before death. Kim Jaejoong will play the photographer’s grandson, a civil rights lawyer who goes searching for the truth about his grandfather. The drama has not been scheduled yet.
If Kim Jaejoong accepts the offer, it will be his first drama in two years since “Spy” in 2015.

This sounds interesting, with complex elements to it! 🙂
Happy if he accept it!! But, only 4 ep?
Yahoo, WELCOME BACK Actor Kim Jaejoong!
Nothing is confirmed yet, hope it’s just a typo, it’s 40 episodes not 4.
Recently, Kdramas air 2 episodes/day (30min/episodes with a commercial break in between each episode ), 4 episodes per week like Suspicious Partner and Ruler: Master of the Mask with 40 episodes each so I’m praying JJ’s drama will have 40 as well, 4 is unbelievable for a comeback after 2 years.
I just hope that if he doses take the role in this drama it would be well written and directed. .. I don’t even care about the number of episodes as long as it’s a good watch .
There was this one local actress who received a lot of acting awards and commendations from her performance of a 1_episode drama anthology, it was well written and directed that it brought out the best in her, a one night episode that lifted her up to another level.
But in JJ’s case, (the greedy side of me), can we have both? a. well written and directed b. a full drama so we can watch him for months. 🙏🙏.
KJJ. Fighting, 4 or 40, we are always here cheering for you.
That’d be cool! Law is right up my alley as I studied it a bit in school ^^ hope they will officially announce the cast soon!
Seems interesting but can they really do it in 4 episodes? I don’t really care, I’ll watch anything that Jaejoong is in.
Guys I was smiling from ear to ear, ready to jump from my place from Joy till I read 4 episodes, what is that a web drama ? are Cjes kidding or what ?
Totally excited and screaming mad.. but 4 episodes? okay, i need to wait for more info 🙂
I am so hoping for Jae in a drama and if this project is right for him. I am really, really looking forward to it. ❤❤❤
So excited!…been waiting too long…..
Only 4 episodes? Is this a joke? What kind of drama is this? A mini-drama? A web drama? I was so excited about his comeback as an actor, but i thought he will do a drama with at least 16 episodes, a drama that will have good ratings and will make the public noticed him as actor. Not going to lie, i’m a bit disappointed!
last time they said Jaejoong will make drama in Fall, I don’t think this is the drama they meant
Well, dramabeans made an article and said that it’s a mini-drama. I don’t understand why…his acting improved and if he wants to be recognized as an actor by the general public he needs a good drama and a mini-drama/web drama is not going to help him achieve that. Sad!
This is just an offer! He is still considering it. It was said that the drama he is eyeing is scheduled to air this fall. This one can be seen as an appetizer ^^
We don’t know when this drama is going to air, but DB said that will air before the year is out and it’s possible to be scheduled to air this fall. I guess we just have to wait and see what will happen! But if he choose to star in this mini-drama, i don’t think a good, respectable actress will want to do a mini-drama.
Nice one ! Im so excited to see him again in kdramas !👍
i will wait until everything is confirmed then i am gonna throw a JJ party in celebration!!! i can’t wait to see him on my screen again and doing what he loves. this man needs to be busy doing things. he can’t sit still for long and we don’t want to wait to see him.
Koreamom, put me on the invitation list for that JJ Party! I’m glad he’ll get to come onto my TV screen for any length of time……be it 4 episodes or 40 episodes! If it’s only four…then we can watch it x10 😜😜😜. I’ m hoping he’s been preparing himself through coaching in his acting skills for any upcoming role he gets. Hoping also for a wonderful, thought provoking script and at least one ‘shower of despair’ !
i am with you georgia! we can watch it over and over and i surely want one shower of despair and one of introspection and one of planning next move and one of a plain hot shower~and we must invite him to our party—who’s in?
Can I get in on the JJ party list too? 😀 lol
Could do it like a tv-show marathon ^^ I’ll provide some of the food and snacks! (Tteokbokki, gimbap, kimchi, mandu, pajeon…. and bingsu for dessert!) ❤
you are definitely in on the party! glad to have as many as want to come!
A moment of silence……please!
Amen.
What a lovely morning, ah my coffee is so HOT!!! 😍🤗🌻💚🌻💚🌻💚
oh my georgia peach! trying to make us all have nosebleeds in the morning? good for studying him!
I’m dead 😍
So glad I could do a little toward bringing up the heart rate….cardio is so important to good health ❣️ Sorry ’bout that nosebleed 😔The ambulance is on its way to do cpr before it’s too late 🚑❗️And glad I could keep your coffee hot❗️ ☕️
😀
Georgia Peach, could i beg for a moment of screaming..this is so perfect..after a hectic day ❤ 🙂
KA, you can scream all you like! And all the more so if you’ve had a hectic day. I will tell you it is easier to squeal while looking at a photo than to squeal in person. Because to see him on person…..I was spellbound. I hardly moved….mesmerized by his voice and appearance! And his speaking voice…..!!!! Guess I’m glad I didn’t scream like a teenager or else I could have missed something in the excitement. Enjoy❗️
Btw…..are you in Europe?
Oh GP!..you confirmed what a visual shock our JJ is, with the combination of his amazing voice..hope my heart can take it i have the chance to see him in person. for now, screaming would just have to do for me 😀
anyway….no.i’m in Asia,..no plans yet going to Europe.
oh yes! one of the two is almost lethal! both together is estasy!
Ladies, count me in…if JJ decides to do it then i’m in for it, knowing his drama he doesn’t choose same usual role..but i hope that it has all the dynamics we want in kdrama when he works on it…
although i’ve watched 6 ep like Queen of the ring and enjoyed it, but with Jaejoong.. a drama on 4 episodes, he sure gonna make it on a different level 🙂
i think we are of one mind and heart! please do come to the party! the more the merrier! there can never be enough people loving JJ!
“be it 4 episodes or 40 episodes! If it’s only four…then we can watch it x10 ”
Thank you @Georgia for bringing such positive vibes 👍🌹💚. As much as I’m praying for a 40 episode_drama, who can’t be happy for a 4_eps, it’s longer than a movie and we even swoon over a 4_min music video 🤗😍. If JJ decides to do a mini-drama, he must have a good reason for it, there must be other surprises he’s cooking for us.
I don’t think we realize how grueling a 16-20 hour drama is for an actor. I remember watching Roommates when Lee Dong Wook was on it. He was filming Hotel King at the time. From what it appeared LDW had very little sleep, was on what looked like a water and lettace diet, to keep his very thin figure, and to keep those abs he had ..worked out mercilessly! Perhaps Jaejoong has other plans….like an end of the year concert! I’m totally into quality not quantity as far as a drama is concerned. And I’m sure Jae will have chosen a great script over a not so good one which might be longer in episodes.
To think that LDW is a full time actor and he had to go through all those hardships, how much more for Jaejoong that he’s doing/thinking a lot of stuffs at the same time. Thanks for the reminder @Georgia, QUALITY over quantity, I’m still praying for 40 but if it’s only 4, Jaejoong has his reasons for it.
just think of this as an appetizer and more is to come! after all they don’t want to kill us off now!
You’re right @koreamon, I’m just too greedy to want more and more and more, I’ll have just to trust JJ, he knows what he’s doing. 😀
exactly! has he ever steered us wrong? NEVER!
May I join too? I’ll bring the drinks! I am so looking forward to this!
oh my we have to have you join us too!
I can’t wait for this face and talent to grace my screen 😍🤗🌟💚
ditto! that makes 2 of us ( i will bet on more)
Make it three 😀 😀 ❤
I bet we will be in hundreds ..thousands … hundreds of thousands … thousands of thousands …
Who can resist KJJ’s charm? 😍🤗
Less is more ? No , not with Jaejoong.40 episodes please ✌️👍
Georgia peach, you are too cruel! Here I was, just getting ready to go to sleep and I saw your pics-now I’m sitting here wide awake !😁 no one should look that good-it’s too hard on us poor humans!!! But that’s JJ for you. All that and talented, too-I am so looking forward to his new drama !
Australias, should I be punished for my cruelty? 😇😇😇. I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly lovin’ those photos from both Jaejoong’s new photo books. The camera loves him! ❤️
and we love that camera!
Although I would love to be seeing Jaejoong on the screen every evening, somehow I can’t imagine him as the lead in a 40 episode drama. Filming can be very time consuming, intense and exhausting. JJ has too many interests to be able to stick for months on end with the same activity.
I think he will prefer a shorter drama so as to have the time to compose and come out with a new album and a concert tour by September/ October. This will also give him time to do new designs for Moldir and his Vlives. Just my thinking.
Agree! On point 👍🏻
