Actors Lee Kwang-soo, Seo Kang-joon, Im Si-wan and Cho Jin-woong are likely to be cast in an upcoming tvN TV drama series based on the U.S. comedy series “Entourage.”

“We offered roles to all four of them and they are likely to accept,” a source from cable network tvN said.

The Hallyu stars have reportedly agreed they are “positive” on taking roles, but nothing has been confirmed and details are still being fleshed out.

Once they do accept the roles, Seo will play an actor called Young-bin who enjoys sudden stardom. Im will act as Young-bin’s friend and manager, according to a report by local news outlet Sports Chosun.

The report added that Lee will act as Cha-joon, an actor who is losing the attention of fans due to the rising popularity of Young-bin. Veteran actor Cho will act as the owner of Young-bin’s entertainment agency.

According to local reports last year, CJ E&M, which owns cable network tvN, was granted license to produce the Korean version of the American series “Entouage,”which has aired for eight seasons from July 2004 to September 2011.

The American drama series revolves around the murky underside of the entertainment industry in America. It premiered on HBO, a satellite TV channel for movies.

The title of the Korean version of “Entourage” and the airing schedule has not been announced yet.
