Lee Haein will be making her first appearance on a Japanese drama, thanks to her good friend Qri (Lee Ji Hyun) from T-ara.

Core Contents Media remarked on the 26th, "Qri received an offer to be in FujiTV's 'Bayside Shakedown', but she graciously gave up the opportunity to her friend Lee Haein, and Lee Haein will now be playing the role of Suhyun in the drama."

"Although Qri was optimistic about her role in the 'Bayside Shakedown' television special, she offered the role to her friend, as she herself will be quite busy promoting in both Korea and Japan," they explained.

This project is a collaboration between director Katsuyuki Motohiro, whom directed 'Bayside Shakedown' the movie and writer Ryoichi Kimizuka. Lee Haein will be playing the role of 'Suhyun', a foreign female who is known to be incredibly beautiful and possesses fluent Japanese skills.

'Bayside Shakedown Television Special' will begin broadcasting this September. Also be on the lookout for Lee Haein as she is scheduled to be making her girl group debut in May.
