Actor Lee Jun-hyuk has been cast as the main character to a Chinese TV series, according to his agency on Tuesday.
A press release by Wellmade STARM said that Lee will star in HunanTV's mini-series "童?二分之一" (translated into "50% of a Fairytale") with Chinese actors Janine Chang and Zixiao Zhu.
Lee first received attention in the China region with a brief appearance in smash hit Korean TV series "Secret Garden" (SBS, 2010) and then gained further popularity after starring in "City Hunter" (SBS, 2011) with Lee Min-ho.
He is not a newcomer to the Korean entertainment scene however -- he first debuted through a music video in 2006 after which he appeared in over half a dozen dramas and a couple of movies.
