A Heartwarming Reunion After Love Alarm

Kim So-hyun and Song Kang first stole hearts as Kim Jo-jo and Hwang Sun-oh in Love Alarm (2019–2021), a futuristic romance about an app that alerts users when someone nearby likes them. Their chemistry sparked endless fan discussions, love triangles, and emotional moments that made the series a global sensation.

Now, reports from Korean media outlets (including exclusive confirmations) indicate that Kim So-hyun has been cast as the female lead opposite Song Kang in White Scandal. This reunion comes at a perfect time—Song Kang’s recent military discharge has fans eagerly awaiting his return to the screen, and Kim So-hyun continues to shine with her versatile acting range.

What Is White Scandal About?

The drama follows Ji Eun-seol (played by Kim So-hyun), a once-promising child actress whose bright future was shattered when she was framed for her brother’s crimes. Despite the devastating fallout, she refuses to abandon her passion for acting and instead works behind the scenes as a road manager.

Her path crosses with Dan Yi-hyuk (played by Song Kang), a top-tier actor, illegitimate son of a powerful conglomerate (chaebol heir), and one of South Korea’s most successful celebrities—who is also haunted by his own past scandal. The two enter into a contract relationship (with high stakes, including a rumored 10 billion won deal in some descriptions), leading to unexpected emotional changes, buried secrets uncovered, and a mix of romance, redemption, and thriller elements.

Described as a rom-com thriller or intense romance, the story promises emotional depth, tension from past scandals, and the slow-burn evolution of their contract-turned-real feelings—perfect for fans who love contract romance tropes with high emotional payoff.
