Get ready for a cosmic adventure as Lee Min Ho heads to space in tvN’s highly anticipated weekend drama, When the Stars Gossip. This thrilling series pairs Lee Min Ho with Gong Hyo Jin, promising an out-of-this-world story of mystery, determination, and self-discovery.

A Space Mission Unlike Any Other

The drama centers around Eve Kim (played by Gong Hyo Jin), a perfectionist astronaut who tolerates no mistakes, and Gong Ryong (Lee Min Ho), an obstetrician-gynecologist turned uninvited space tourist. What starts as a seemingly extravagant leisure trip takes a turn as Gong Ryong embarks on a secret mission he cannot share with anyone—not even his fellow crew members.

Who Is Gong Ryong?

Lee Min Ho’s character, Gong Ryong, is no ordinary tourist. The son-in-law-to-be of a top conglomerate owner, Gong Ryong is known for his convictions, loyalty, and unshakable persistence. Just before his wedding, he surprises everyone by signing up for a high-cost trip to a space station. However, beneath the surface lies a deeper purpose—a secret mission with stakes that could change everything.

Lee Min Ho described Gong Ryong as "an ordinary person living an average life, but one with an obsession with life that others may not understand." He added, “His passion, honesty, and loyalty are raw but deeply heartfelt, making his journey both compelling and relatable.”

Why When the Stars Gossip?

For Lee Min Ho, the allure of this project was its unique setting and profound themes.

“We live in a time where things are moving so fast, and the boundaries of what is good and important are increasingly blurred. This story, set in the pristine and mysterious backdrop of space, felt like a much-needed reflection on the value of life,” he shared.

A Cinematic Space Experience

The drama promises to bring the vastness and mystery of space to life, immersing viewers in the weightlessness and wonder of the universe. Lee Min Ho teased, “The unique emotions that can only be felt in space, coupled with the stunning visuals, will make for a refreshing viewing experience. I hope audiences can freely immerse themselves and enjoy the events that unfold.”
