Rising Actor Whose Popularity Exploded Due To Success Of Current Drama Reportedly Received Over 30 New Scripts For His Upcoming Project

Actor Lee Chae Min, who showcased an impressive performance in “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty,” is receiving a flood of casting offers.

tvN’s weekend drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has gained immense popularity not only in Korea but also globally, shining a spotlight on Lee Chae Min’s growing presence.

He took on the role of Yi Heon, a tyrant prince with an extraordinary palate, skillfully balancing romance and comedy while driving the drama’s success. Although cast only a month before filming, he quickly mastered horseback riding, archery, action, and even the traditional Cheoyongmu dance, fully immersing himself in the character.

Lee Chae Min’s impact was also reflected in numbers. His on-screen romance and food-filled storyline with Yeon Ji Young (played by Lim Yoona) captivated viewers, with episode 10, aired on the 21st, reaching 15.8% nationwide ratings (Nielsen Korea), marking a series high. Additionally, according to the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute’s report released on the 23rd, he ranked No. 1 in the September actor brand reputation rankings.

The industry is now paying close attention to his next steps. Reportedly, as “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” nears its finale, more than 30 scripts have already been sent to him, proving he has quickly become a “one-pick” choice for drama producers.

Fans don’t need to feel sad about bidding farewell to him with the drama’s conclusion this week. Lee Chae Min will return later this year in Netflix’s original “Cashiero,” where he will showcase a completely new side of himself.
