Yoo In-soo has picked his first project after the military. His agency Management Koo said on Nov. 13 (KST) that the actor has joined the new drama 'Juhan Igukdaesagwan' (roughly, 'the otherworldly embassy in Korea') as Do Ji-hyuk, according to Money Today's IZE and YTN Star. Ilgan Sports first reported the casting in October; this is the official confirmation.

The fantasy romantic comedy follows Go Mi-woo (Hong Hwa-yeon), a human rookie diplomat who is mistakenly posted to an embassy that manages the 'otherworldly' residents living in Korea, and its ambassador Cha Yeon (2PM's Lee Jun-ho), who turns out to be a dragon. tvN cast Lee and Hong as the leads in July, Yonhap reported, with 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' writer Shin Ha-eun penning the script and 'Hierarchy' director Bae Hyun-jin directing. YTN Star reports the show is planned for 2027, with Kang Han-na and THE BOYZ's Juyeon also in the cast.

Yoo drew global attention as the bully Yoon Gwi-nam in Netflix's 'All of Us Are Dead' (2022) and went on to play Park Dang-gu in tvN's 'Alchemy of Souls' and its second part. He also appeared in JTBC's 'The Good Bad Mother' and tvN's 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch'.
