Girl group T-ara member Eunjung is being considered for a role in a new historical drama.
An official with her agency Core Contents Media told 10Asia over the phone on Thursday that Eunjung has been asked to play Joseon Dynasty's Queen Sohye in the series tentatively titled "Queen Insu."
However, the official said it "will not be easy to decide on doing the show" due to T-ara's upcoming activities in Korea and Japan -- they recently made a debut in Japan and are set to release a new album in Korea in early November.
If Eunjung takes on the role she will play a young Queen Sohye while actress Chae Shi-ra is said to have been asked to play the queen of when she is older.
Queen Sohye, also known as Queen Insu, was the mother of Seongjong, the ninth king of the Joseon Dynasty.
The drama, set to show on JoongAng Ilbo's new general programming cable channel jTBC in early December, will revolve around Queen Sohye's life.
Eunjung, 23, is not new to the acting scene, having made her debut as a child actor in the early 1990s.
She has displayed her acting skills in various roles ever since including in SBS TV series "Coffee House" (2010), KBS' music drama "Dream High" (2011) and films "Death Bell" (2008) and "White" (2011).
She has also appeared in two historical dramas so far including SBS series "The Land" in 2005 and KBS series "The King of Legend" this year.
