Shocking new reports claim singer-actor Ok Taecyeon has chosen a comedic investigative sageuk as his next project.
According to Sports DongA on the 16th, Ok Taecyeon will star in ENA's upcoming drama The Elite Manservant Yong-gil, slated to air in the second half of the year.
The Elite Manservant Yong-gil is a comedic historical crime drama about a servant who infiltrates a noble household and brilliantly untangles a whirlwind of incidents and family entanglements.
Per reports, Yong-gil, the role Ok will play, is more than a mere servant — he's a one-man fixer who handles everything from secretary and butler duties to even acting like a lawyer. He takes charge of tax management, litigation representation, land administration, and every kind of family affair, driving the story with razor-sharp judgment and standout problem-solving skills.
Ok has already proven his sageuk chops through the drama Secret Royal Inspector & Joy, the series The First Night With the Duke, and the film Hansan: Rising Dragon. This new project marks his fourth historical title, and fans are watching closely to see whether he'll deliver another career-defining character, moving seamlessly between cheeky charm and commanding charisma.
Meanwhile, on April 24, Ok married his non-celebrity partner, announcing a fresh start amid a flood of congratulations. With this new chapter underway, anticipation is building for his bold next moves — and fans are cheering him on.
