Wi Ha‑Jun Dropped Off in Singapore for His Latest Korean Drama Shout‑out
Word is that 30‑year‑old Wi Ha‑Jun has set up camp in the Lion City to shoot the upcoming Korean drama Little Women (2022). The 29‑year‑old heartthrob, who burst onto the global scene as Policing Detective Hwang Jun‑ho in Netflix’s Squid Game, is making a smooth transition from the icy boardrooms of Seoul to the beaches of Singapore.
Arriving in the Lion City
We caught a glimpse of the handsome star at Incheon International Airport this morning, clutching a boarding pass and a weary grin—classic travel vibes. He’s headed to the airport’s departures lounge for his flight to Singapore, where he’s expected to land and hit the set for the next two weeks.
Cast Crew in the Mix
- Wi Ha‑Jun – 30‑year‑old star, ex‑Squid Game detective, and renowned for making people swoon (People’s 2021 Top 25 Sexiest Men on TV).
- Kim Go‑eun – the girl that won hearts in Pirates of the Caribbean: Sworn to the Pirate Crew, now catching waves in Singapore.
- Uhm Ji‑won – a seasoned actress whose presence adds depth to the drama.
- Nam Ji‑hyun – rumored to be in the mix, but the team’s sure if she’d actually land in Singapore.
All the star power is set to mingle in a flurry of filming schedules and Singaporean city‑scapes. The drama’s aesthetic hinges on the city’s charming backdrops, so Wi Ha‑Jun might find himself filming against the Marina Bay waterfront pronto.
What to Expect
Based on Little Women, the story taps into the legacy of Louisa May Alcott’s classic 1868 novel. Wi plays Choi Do‑il, a sharp‑tongued, gadget‑savvy grad who’s destined to meet Oh In‑ju, portrayed by Kim. The drama follows the trios of sisters—In‑kyung, In‑hye—and their antics, promising a blend of melodrama and sweet humor. The show is slated for an August Netflix release, so you have a month to admire whatever Wi’s gut‑wringing eyes might be doing.
Maybe, Maybe Not: The Squid Game Conundrum
Fans might ask, “Will Wi return to the Squid Game franchise?” The answer, apparently, remains uncertain. While the creator Hwang Dong‑hyuk hinted that Season 2 may not drop until the end of 2023 (or possibly 2024), Wi has a lot of production time. He could consider a return or just keep it moving with his new role.
That said, if he decides to stay in Singapore for longer, it would stretch the drama’s filming timeline—but who can resist a chance to mingle with beachside bungalows?
Take a Peek
Even though we can’t share the glossy photos from the official Star News release, the general vibe is clear: Wi is geared up, the crew’s buzzing, and the beats of Singapore’s frantic streets are beating in the background of a new drama. Keep an eye on Netflix for Little Women and a possible Squid Game sequel—both are only a handful of months away.
