With the tvN K-drama's 16-episode journey concluding earlier this month, South Korean media outlets are now reporting that he might be jumping ship to the Japanese side of his acting chapter. The move could be seen as a testament to his expanding global fanbase.

On October 17, Naver TV Entertainment's database showed reports about the beloved Korean star's next project. Hae In's agency, FNC Entertainment, also responded to the claims, sharing that the forthcoming J-drama is one of the projects for which he has received a casting offer.

In addition to recently closing the chapter on tvN drama Love Next Door, the K-star was also attached to the 2015 hit film Veteran's sequel, I, the Executioner. It was released in September and reportedly crossed an impressive milestone at the box office in the first week of October. The Korean Film Council announced on October 7 that the blockbuster had surpassed 7 million moviegoers.

This is a developing story.
