There's much hype for the upcoming spy action drama Athena: Goddess of War and to build up the excitement even further, it's now been reported that SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong is up for a part in the show. Athena is the spin-off show of 2009 hit IRIS and is expected to be just as good. In IRIS they used T.O.P of Big Bang to bring in a younger audience and to amp up its popularity. Looks like they're doing the same, but this time with Kim Hyun Joong. Taewon Entertainment said, "It is true that he is up for one of the roles, but nothing has been set in stone." SS501's label DSP Entertainment also responded saying, "Kim Hyun Joong will be resuming his activities with SS501 at the end of May. We are considering the role in Athena but we still have our priorities with SS501 so we can't say for sure on whether or not he'll be able to work on any dramas." It's also been revealed that Kim Hyun Joong has already met with the director of Athena and both have discussed the role and all the complexities behind it. Fans are hoping that Kim Hyun Joong will have a bigger role in Athena than T.O.P did in IRIS. So do you guys want Kim Hyun Joong to join Athena or just focus only on SS501? Either way, it's quite funny that he might be joining the IRIS spin-off since the main character's name was Kim Hyun Joon.
