Suzy might be taking on a dramatic new role — this time as a powerful empress surrounded by male concubines.

On May 12, OSEN reported that Suzy is currently reviewing an offer to star as the female lead in the upcoming live-action drama The Men of the Harem.

The drama is based on the popular Naver web novel of the same name by author Alpha Tart. Set in the fictional Tarim Empire, the story follows Empress Latil, who builds her own harem of men to help secure her power and survive palace politics.

The novel was a massive hit, gaining over 21.4 million downloads between 2020 and 2023. It was also turned into a webtoon and became popular both in Korea and internationally. Ever since, fans have been hoping for a live-action version — and it looks like it's finally happening.

If Suzy accepts the role, she’ll play Empress Latil, a strong yet vulnerable ruler trying to protect her throne while navigating love, betrayal, and power struggles.

Fans are especially excited since the drama will be directed by Lee Eung Bok, the talent behind hits like Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, and Sweet Home. The script is being written by Hwang Jin Young, known for the 2023 MBC hit My Dearest. With this kind of production team, expectations are already sky-high.

As of now, The Men of the Harem is still in pre-production, and casting is underway. Suzy’s agency has confirmed she’s considering the offer, but nothing has been finalized yet.

Fans are already buzzing about how perfectly Suzy could fit the role of a graceful yet fierce empress. If she signs on, this could be one of her most iconic roles yet.

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career.
