Interestingly, aside from the rumored cast, "The Youngest Son of Chaebol Family" is slated to air sometime this 2021 and will be JTBC's special as the network celebrates its 10th anniversary.
The upcoming series is a revenge drama that follows the story of a man who was wrongly accused by a chaebol family for embezzlement of money despite showing his loyalty to the whole clan.
This also prompted the wealthy family to brutally kill him.
Surprisingly, he was reborn as the youngest son of the family with a motive to destroy everything they have.
At the time, fans predicted the possible lead stars who might lead the drama - this includes the "It's Okay to Not be Okay" actor Kim Soo Hyun, "Seobok" star Park Bo Gum, "Crash Landing on You" actor Kim Woo Bin and Kwak Dong Yeon.
Song Joong Ki Post-"Vincenzo"
Following the successful season finale of the top-rating Korean drama, "Vincenzo," the 35-year-old actor is set to have a series of major projects this 2021 and early 2022.
Song Joong Ki's sci-fi film "Space Sweepers" was confirmed to be in discussions for a new installment.
In addition, he will also star in the much-awaited criminal thriller movie "Bogota," alongside Ryu Seung Beom, Jo Hyun Chul, and Lee Hee Joon.
