Actress Yoo Ho Jung is confirmed to lead the drama as Choi Yeon Hee, while Lee Joon has been offered the role of her son.
A representative for SBS stated that Lee Joon was a top choice for “I Heard Some Rumor” but his participation in the project is not yet confirmed.
On December 16, J.Tune Entertainment issued a statement confirming Lee Joon's departure from MBLAQ and acknowledged his desire to pursue an acting career. He is currently without representation, following the conclusion of his contract with J.Tune Entertainment in November 2014.
