Jongup On Preparing For The Movie

Regarding Jongup's casting in the film, a source from Big Ocean ENM shared some comments. They said that Jongup is doing his best to take on his role in 'Idol Recipe perfectly, and he is set to showcase a different kind of charm from the variety he exhibits on stage as an artist.

The Story Of 'Idol Recipe'

The comedic idol music film Idol Recipe (literal title) follows the story of an unknown idol group named Bella, which has become a disorderly mess due to their agency's poor treatment.

The group's evil manager tries to sell them off, and later on, they overcome their conflict and eventually succeeded by entering the Billboard charts.

Jongup will be taking the role of Bella's genius composer Jang Jun. By producing a song that helps Bella rise to the top, Jang Jun will become a figure who will positively influence the group.

Moreover, Woohee will play Kelly's role, Bella's producer, and Kenta will play the group's talented dancer Redi. Taking the part of Bella's visual, Jenia, who is dating Jang Jun, is Nahyun.

Finally, Ryu Hoyeon will become the math genius and group's leader Do Young, and Sohee will become the female leader and main vocal Ji Ahn.

As reported, the kick-off of the filming of Idol Recipe will begin in January.
