Sooyoung And WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon Join KBS Family Drama 'I Went To School'

Girls' Generation's Sooyoung and WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon have been confirmed for KBS 2TV's new weekend drama I Went to School (literal title), joining Lee Jung Eun, Lee Sung Jae and Jeon Sung Woo, Soompi reports.

The series follows Yoon Ok Hee (Lee Jung Eun), a meddlesome mother who starts a late-in-life college journey and finds unexpected connections that slowly knit a group of people into a family bound by ties stronger than blood.

Yang Hee Seung, the writer behind Once Again and Crash Course in Romance, is penning the script, with Lee Woong Hee of The First Night With the Duke directing.

Lee Jung Eun's Yoon Ok Hee takes charge of every local matter in her neighborhood and runs an instant tteokbokki restaurant, leaving her barely enough hours in the day before she decides to pursue a degree and start a new chapter.

Sooyoung plays Kang Eun Ho, a cynical radio producer-director and Yoon Ok Hee's daughter with an exceptionally strong "T" personality in MBTI terms. Blunt and quick to speak her mind, she is also the dependable eldest daughter who backs her mother's new challenge more than anyone.

Lee Sung Jae takes the role of Kang Ji Chul, Yoon Ok Hee's husband and a once-celebrated boxer whose career turned south. The macho husband, who acts before he speaks, faces the biggest storm of his life when his wife heads back to school.

Jeon Sung Woo plays Han Seung Woo, a longtime friend of Eun Ho and a leading anchor at KMS Broadcasting Station. The two bicker constantly, but an unexpected incident leads him to feelings he never knew he had, shifting their friendship.

Kang Seung Yoon rounds out the family as Kang Jun, a troublemaking eldest son who is impossible to hate. After a string of failed business ventures, he plans to turn his life around with a boxing diet program at his father's gym.

I Went to School is set to premiere in the first half of 2027, taking the slot after Love on the Menu ends. Sooyoung currently stars in IDOL I, while Lee Jung Eun stars in My Daughter is a Zombie.
