ITZY’s Yuna is expanding her acting career with a major new role. On November 24, tvN confirmed in a call with Dispatch that the idol has officially been cast in the upcoming drama “My Favorite Office” and has already completed her first script reading.
According to the production team, Yuna will play the role of a top actress, a character known for her glamorous visuals and strong presence traits that closely align with Yuna’s own star image. With her natural charisma and expressive performance style, expectations are high for her second acting challenge.
Her Second Acting Project — and Another tvN Role
This casting marks Yuna’s second acting project since debut. Earlier, she was confirmed for tvN’s weekend drama “Undercover Miss Hong,” where she plays Hong Jang Mi, the lively and adorable younger sister of Park Shin Hye’s character. The drama premieres on January 7 and is expected to highlight Yuna’s bright, youthful charm.
Yuna debuted with ITZY in 2019 and quickly rose to prominence through hits such as “DALLA DALLA,” “WANNABE,” “LOCO,” and more. Known for her commanding stage presence and standout visuals, she has consistently been one of the group’s most recognized members. Most recently, ITZY released their 11th mini album “Tunnel Vision” on November 11.
‘My Favorite Temple’ Set for Late 2026 Release
TvN’s “My Favorite Office” is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026, and industry insiders expect the project to showcase a new side of Yuna as she transitions further into acting. With two back-to-back drama roles and growing momentum outside of music, Yuna is poised to become one of the most exciting new all-round entertainers of her generation.
Editor’s Insight
Yuna’s casting in “My Favorite Office” highlights a familiar but evolving pattern in K-pop: the shift from idol to multi-platform entertainer. What makes her case notable is the timing taking on consecutive acting roles early in her career suggests a proactive expansion strategy, rather than a gradual transition after peak idol years. By playing a “top actress” character that mirrors her own image, the project also blurs the line between persona and performance, allowing her to leverage existing public perception while building credibility as an actress.
