Actor Kang Tae Oh, who has recently completed his military service, is gearing up for his next project.

Reported by OSEN on March 18, Kang Tae Oh has officially joined the cast of the upcoming tvN drama titled 'Potato Lab' (translated English title).

Waste no time, as he is set to jump straight into filming. 'Potato Lab' is a romantic comedy set in a rural potato research institute, where Kang Tae Oh will portray an outsider protagonist known for his striking visuals and unexpected charms.

In his previous project 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' where he starred as the male lead Lee Joon Ho, Kang Tae Oh captivated audiences with his endearing and sweet portrayal, earning him the affectionate title of the "nation's sweetheart."

The drama achieved an impressive viewership rating of 17.5% (based on Nielsen Korea nationwide), solidifying Kang Tae Oh's position as a genuine "rising star."

Following his service at the 37th Division Training Center in Jeungpyeong County, Kang Tae Oh completed his basic military training and served as a drill instructor for the remainder of his service period.

'Potato Lab' marks the reunion of writer Kim Ho Soo and director Kang Il Soo from MBC's 'Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung' and is highly anticipated to premiere on tvN in the first half of 2024.
