K-pop idol Woo-hyun of boy band INFINITE will be making his small screen debut in a forthcoming MBC TV series, making him the fourth member to step into acting shoes.

Woollim Entertainment told the magazine over the phone on Wednesday that Woo-hyun has been cast to star alongside T-ara's Hyomin in fantasy sitcom "The 1,000th Man” (translated title).

The rep, however, refrained from providing further details about Woo-hyun's character to avoid spilling spoilers and said more will be revealed on a later date.

"The 1,000th Man," set to air on August 10, tells the story of a 'gumiho' [a nine-tailed fox] that must feed on 999 livers from men in order to become a human. Played by Hyomin, the nine-tailed fox struggles to find the 1,000th liver, which has to come from the man she truly loves.

Woo-hyun made his debut as one of the main vocalists of INFINITE in 2010. The group is well-known for their hit songs including "Come Back Again," "Before the Dawn (BTD)," "She's Back," "Nothing's Over," "Be Mine," “Paradise” and "The Chaser."

Outside of his group activities, Woo-hyun also built his experience as a musical actor through "Gwanghwamun Love Story" in December 2011.

Meanwhile, INFINITE is gearing up for their summer concert, dubbed “INFINITE CONCERT That Summer,” which will take place at the AX-KOREA in Seoul from August 8 to 12.
