Hallyu star Lee Jun Ki has been cast as the male lead in an upcoming MBC TV series, making it his first project since being discharged from the military.

A press release from his agency IMX Korea announced that Lee, who was relieved of his two-year military duties last Thursday, will begin shooting his new MBC Wednesday and Thursday drama "Arasatojeon" (tentative title) this May.

Lee will play the role of Eun-oh who has a cynical and prickly personality that has the ability to see ghosts. He begins to wander around the country trying to find his mother who suddenly died.

"I am nervous and excited about my comeback project and I am ready to put my all into 'Arasatojeon," Lee said in the statement about joining the show which will air July of this year.

Lee recently met with several thousand fans at his fan event on February 16 to mark his return to being a civilian after serving as a soldier in the Defense Media Agency.

He will soon meet his fans in Nagoya, Yokohama and Osaka of Japan and release his new Japanese single "Deucer" next month.
