Entertainment company Ghost Studio announced that Kang Song and So-hyun Kim will star in the live-action series White Scandal, based on the webtoon of the same name. The show follows a third-generation conglomerate heir and a former child star who enter a fake relationship. It is their first reunion since the 2021 Netflix series Love Alarm. Filming is scheduled to begin soon.
Ghost Studio confirmed the main cast for White Scandal on Tuesday. Kang Song takes the role of Yi-hyeok Dan, an illegitimate son of a wealthy family and a top actor who wants to escape his grandfather's expectations. So-hyun Kim plays Eunseol Ji, a former child star now working as a manager while holding on to her acting dream.
In the story, Eunseol was accused of attempting to murder Yi-hyeok fifteen years ago, an accusation that ended her career. Yi-hyeok approaches her with an offer for a fake relationship, hoping to displease his grandfather and change his inheritance. The two must be convincing enough that even they may start believing it.
Chae Ah Moon wrote the original story, and 1HO wrote the webtoon's story. DENZZI and GETMEAN drew the webtoon, which Tapas has serialized in English since 2025. The series ended serialization in April.
