Singer and actor Cha Eun-woo will return with a new project next month.
According to Netflix, "The Wonderfools" will premiere on May 15. The Netflix series is a comedic superhero adventure set at the turn of the millennium in 1999, following a group of ordinary neighborhood misfits who accidentally gain superpowers and struggle to save the world from villains threatening peace.
The series has drawn attention with a production team behind dramas such as "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" and "Dr. Romantic." It also marks a reunion between director Yoo In-sik and actress Park Eun-bin from "Extraordinary Attorney Woo." Alongside Park, the cast includes Cha Eun-woo, Choi Dae-hoon and Im Sung-jae.
"The Wonderfools" has attracted particular interest as it is Cha's first post-controversy project. Earlier this year, he faced allegations of owing hundreds of billions of won in unpaid taxes. He also faced criticism over suspicions that a one-person corporation established under his mother’s name may have been used for tax avoidance.
On April 8, Cha Eun-woo said, “I respect the National Tax Service’s procedures and conclusions, and to prevent further confusion, I have paid all related taxes. Having carried out my activities with so much love and support, I take this matter very seriously. If there were aspects I did not examine carefully enough, I take full responsibility for that as well.”
