According to reports on April 2, Kim Sejeong has been selected as the main character of the highly anticipated series, which is currently in the early stages of production. Broadcast details are still under discussion.

Based on a popular Naver webtoon, High School Queen tells the story of Kim Cheong-ha, a Joseon-era queen and elite swordswoman who is reincarnated into the body of a modern high school student named Park Da-jin. Using her martial arts skills, she takes on school bullies, delivering a satisfying mix of action and justice.

The drama will expand on the original story by strengthening its romance elements while maintaining the thrilling action that made the webtoon a hit. It will also explore a broader narrative that moves between the Joseon era and modern times. The project is being planned and developed by Studio Dragon, raising expectations for high production quality. There are also discussions about expanding the intellectual property into films and animation in the future.

Kim Sejeong is expected to portray both the fierce warrior queen and the modern student, showcasing a wide range of contrasting charms. Known for her versatility in dramas like The Uncanny Counter , Business Proposal , and Today’s Webtoon , she has steadily built a strong acting portfolio.

With this role, she is set to once again demonstrate her action capabilities alongside emotional depth, making High School Queen one of the most anticipated upcoming adaptations. In addition to her acting projects, Kim Sejeong is also preparing for a full-group comeback with I.O.I in May, signaling a busy and dynamic year ahead for the multi-talented star.
