According to broadcasting insiders on December 18, Choi Yena has been cast in “Villain’s Country” and is currently filming. The sitcom depicts the comedic daily lives of middle-aged K-sisters, their families and their neighbors as they navigate a world overflowing with villains.
Choi Yena will portray Gu Won-hee, a boarder living in Oh Na-ra’s home. Her character becomes humorously entangled in the everyday happenings of Oh Na-ra’s family.
