The series continues to stir anticipation through its release of character stills and variety show-based teasers. On April 20, KBS released a video teaser which captured the characters during a comical interaction on a bus. The premise of the teaser demonstrates the meta nature of the series, when one considers the iconic bus scenes from "Dream High" which starred Kim Soo Hyun and IU. Also, it is difficult to picture any of the high caliber stars on public transportation, unless they were being filmed for a variety show or drama series.
Many of the previous teasers bore a strong resemblance for the KBS series, "Music Bank." Her character provides explanation for the bevvy of K-pop idols who are scheduled to make guest appearances on the show.
In addition to its main cast, the highly anticipated series will feature cameo appearances from luminaries in K-pop including Girls' Generation members Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun. 2PM's Nichkhun and Park Jin Young (J.Y. Park) are also scheduled to make cameo appearances.
Solo vocalist IU stars as Cindy, a top singer, who will undoubtedly compete for Kim Soo Hyun's affection.
"Producer" will premiere on May 15 at 9:15 p.m. KST.
