Netflix's 'Celebrity': Meet the Cast
In the upcoming K-drama, Park Gyu Young took on the role of Seo Ah Ri, who comes from a wealthy family. Her character is described as a pretty and intelligent daughter of a chaebol who is about to hit rock bottom due to an incident.
KDrama fans might recognize Park Gyu Young from the hit zombie series "Sweet Home," where she plays the 20-year-old bassist Yoon Ji Su.
The actress also appeared in "The Devil Judge" as detective Yoon Soo Hyun and her recent rom-com series "Dali and the Cocky Prince" with Kim Min Jae.

Joining Park Gyu Young as a "Celebrity" cast is none other than CNBLUE's Minhyuk. He is set to mesmerize viewers with his new character Han Joon Kyung.
The singer-actor plays the grandson of Korea's top cosmetic company and gets entangled with Seo Ah Ri.
"Celebrity" will also showcase Han Joon Kyung getting into a whirlwind of emotions as he gets involved with the chaebol's daughter.
Kang Min Hyuk's new drama raises expectations, especially since this will be his third project since his military discharge back in 2020. Kang has already headline two projects since his discharge from the military: "How to be Thirty" and "Oh My Ladylord."
On the other hand, adding excitement to the thriller mystery K-drama is Lee Chung Ah. Best known for her role as Jung Han Kyung in the 2004 popular movie "Temptation of Wolves," the 37-year-old South Korean beauty is making a comeback to the small screen after two years.
With her last K-drama being back in 2020 for "Awaken," Lee Chung Ah will transform as Yoon Shi Hyun, who grew up in a wealthy family, just like Seo Ah Ri.
Joining the trio is SECRET member Jeon Hyo Sung, who will be portraying SNS influencer and lawyer Oh Min Hye.
While Netflix unveiled the interesting cast lineup, the streaming giant is yet to announce the target premiere date of the thriller mystery series.
