Fans wait with high anticipation for actress Kim Go-eun‘s role in upcoming tvN drama series “Goblin,” especially after she declined the boyish role of Hong Ra-on on KBS2’s “Moonlight Drawn by Clouds.”

Kim gained immense popularity in her role as Hong Sul in “Cheese in the Trap.” Afterward, she was offered numerous roles, one of which was the orphan-turned-eunuch role of Hong Ra-on.

In early April, local reports were almost certain that Kim would accept the part on KBS2’s periodic series, with Kim appearing positive on the role. Kim and Park Bo-gum, who played Prince Lee Young in the series, had previously worked together in 2015’s critical and box office hit “Coin Locker Girl.”

However, the role later went to child actress Kim Yoo-jung, as she scored a breakthrough in her acting career thanks to the role.
