Lee Jong Suk is now part of the YG family. The news of his transfer to the agency surprised many people but they supported the actor's decision.

His latest project is a drama called "Jade Lover" and although it has yet to air on Chinese TV, the producers have already predicted its success. In addition, Lee has been cast, alongside actress Han Hyo Joo, for the lead role in the upcoming 16-episode Korean melodrama entitled "W," Nate News reported.
"W" is suspense mystery drama that tells the love story of two people who are in their 30s. The couple looked like any other common human beings but they are slightly different from the rest because they are living in a different dimension. The drama is directed by Jung Dae Yoon and written by Song Jae Jung.
Finally, "W" will be Lee's comeback drama after being inactive for about a year. His last work was "Pinocchio" which earned him the Best Actor trophy from the prestigious Grimae Awards in 2014.
