Cho Jae-hyun has been cast for the KBS historical drama "Jeong Do-jeon".

He said, "I was enthused by the new approach to the character that arouses curiosity unlike the typical historic dramas and the intentions of this production".

He continued, "The reason I haven't done many dramas until now is because there was nothing that really drew my interest. However, this manuscript of the drama attracted me like no other when I only thought of reading a third of it".

Cho Jae-hyun said, "It's true I feel pressured by the viewers who are more used to fusion historical dramas. I plan on throwing the ball towards history although not like a major leaguer, but with sincerity and hope that there are people out there who want to watch a drama like this".

Meanwhile, Cho Jae-hyun debuted in 1989 through KBS and starred in the 2001 drama "The Date Love Tree". This is his first drama come back in 12 years and first historical in 20 years.
