2024 might be a busy year for Girls' Day Hyeri. On February 6, based on Newsen, the actress received an offer to star in TVING's new K-Drama "Friendly Competition." 

Originating from the webtoon of the same name, it follows the story of Woo Seul Gi, a top student at her previous school who transfers to the prestigious Chaehwa Girls' High School. There, she meets Yoo Jei, a high-ranking student like her.

"Friendly Competition" is a combination of mystery and psychological thriller along with aspects of Girls Love.
