2PM member and actor Lee Junho has been cast as the male lead in SBS's 'Wok of Love' (original title: Kilgeumjin Melo), marking his leading role in a terrestrial broadcast drama.

'Wok of Love' is a drama depicting the love, life, and cooking of a man who fell from being a star chef at Korea's top Chinese restaurant to a kitchen cook at a Chinese restaurant on the verge of closing.

Junho will play the role of "Seo Poong," a Chinese chef living a roller-coaster life, and will lead this drama.

Junho commented on his casting, saying, "I am happy to be able to appear in a good production. I will be acting as a Chinese chef, and it seems like it will be a work with many new highlights. I am honored to be working with wonderful seniors, the director, and the writers."

'Wok of Love' is scheduled to air in May as the follow-up program to the currently airing 'Should We Kiss First'.
