After rumors in April, it seems Kim Hyun Joong will be officially making his return to the small screen.

The singer who has focused mostly on his album promotions after his drama 'Playful Kiss' came to an end in 2010 has recently been confirmed for a role in 'City Conquest'.

'City Conquest' is a drama that's been adapted from the original comic by author Shin Hyung Bin. This new project brings together humanism and action, and it tells the story of main character Baek Mir who grew up resentful towards his father who left his mother and himself. He takes revenge against the evils of society which drove his family into destruction.

Kim Hyun Joong will be playing the role of Baek Mir, a strong individual who experienced all sorts of difficulties growing up without parents, but a man who becomes infinitely weak when it comes to love.

A representative from his agency Key East remarked, "Kim Hyun Joong is readily preparing to show you a more developed side of himself, as there are many fans who have been awaiting his small-screen comeback. Please look forward to it."

In related news, Kim Hyun Joong will be holding his 'Kim Hyun Joong Fan Meeting Tour 2012' in May, making stops in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and more.
