While there is no concrete release date yet, The Crown Prince Has Disappeared is set to premiere in the first half of 2024. Last year in November, Hong Ye Ji was first confirmed as the female lead with remarkable horseback riding skills and medical knowledge.

Moreover, Kim Min-Kyu is set to portray the eldest son of King Haejong and his second wife. His character falls into a vicious love triangle between his elder brother, Lee Geon (Suho), and Choi Myung Yoon (Hong Ye Ji).
