His agency Star Empire rep stated, "It is true that we exchanged good words about it, but if it gets confirmed, the decision will be made within this week. The production and staff are all good, so we are looking over it positively."

Siwan already has close ties with 'Misaeng' as the lead star of the 10-minute short film version of the webtoon, and Kang So Ra has also been reported to be in talks for the female lead character An Yeong.

'Misaeng' originally aired as a webtoon last year on the Daum portal site and was remade into a short film. 'Monster's PD Kim Won Suk and writer Jang Yoon Jung will reunite for this drama remake as well.

'Misaeng' is set to premiere every Friday and Saturday starting this October!
