4minute's Nam Jihyun will challenge acting once again.

Jihyun was cast in MBC's new weekend drama 'A Thousand Kisses' set to be aired starting from mid August. After her appearance in SBS's 'It's Okay, Daddy's Daughter' at the end of last year, her featuring in 'A Thousand Kisses' will mark her second acting role in a drama.

Nam Jihyun will act as the lead character Jang Woojin's (played by actor Ryujin) younger sister, Jang Sooah.

As a bouncy and cheerful girl that will brighten the mood of an uneasy household, her character is likely to find favor in the audience's eyes. A representative of the production shared his opinions and predictions "During 'It's Okay, Daddy's Daughter', Nam Jihyun's decent acting earned a passing mark, but it was a shame that she got little exposure. This time, as the drama will have 50 episodes, she will surely get to show her acting to her fans".

'A Thousand Kisses' will follow 'Sparkling' as MBC's new weekend drama. Seo Yeonghee, Ji Hyunwoo, Kim Soeun and Ryujin were cast as its lead characters.
