Song Il-kook has landed a role in a TV series set for premiere in December, according to the show's promoter Baggat on Tuesday.

Baggat announced through a press release that Song will take on the role of the rough, unorganized and spontaneous Ki Ho-tae in the upcoming drama named "Fermented Family" (translated title) set to air on JoongAng Ilbo's new general programming cable channel jTBC.

The show will tell of what happens when Ki, who has been hurt by his parents having abandoned him when he was young, on impulse starts working at a restaurant he thinks will tell him about his past because he has found a hint to his childhood from it.

Ki will be anxious that someone may spot him working at the restaurant yet will gradually become assimilated into the restaurant owner's family and develop feelings for the main female character Kang San.

Song, 39, rose to stardom with KBS drama “Sea God” in 2004 after debuting as 27th class of MBC's actors in 1998.

He has since starred in other hit dramas including “Jumong” (MBC, 2006), “Lobbyist” (SBS, 2007), “The Land of Wind” (KBS, 2008), “A Man Called God (MBC, 2010)” and played the main character in the 2005 film “The Art Of Seduction.”

His most recent role was in KBS series "Detectives In Trouble" which ended its run in late April.
