Entourage

Entourage (Korean: 안투라지; RR: Anturaji) is a South Korean television series starring Cho Jin-woong, Seo Kang-joon, Lee Kwang-soo, Park Jeong-min and Lee Dong-hwi. It is a black comedy-drama about life in the entertainment industry, based on the American television series of the same name. It started airing on cable network tvN from November 4, 2016, and finished airing on December 24, 2016.^[1]^[2]

The series scored low ratings in South Korea; some have argued that the low ratings were a result of the series being atypical of Korean dramas, particularly its black humour and perhaps American vibe.^[3]

Synopsis

This is the story of a handsomely famous celebrity who depends on his three friends and agency's boss who try to help him in his struggles as an actor and a man.

Cast

Main

Cho Jin-woong as Kim Eun-gab

The CEO of a management company, a powerful and well-connected agent who turns Young-bin from a pretty-boy actor into a rising star.

Seo Kang-joon as Cha Young-bin

A rising superstar in his 20s, known for his handsome looks. Despite his fame, he is a vapid actor with delusions of artistic grandeur.

Lee Kwang-soo as Cha Joon

Young-bin's cousin. A former member of Sugar Boys, an idol group who debut in the late 90s. Now he is a struggling actor desperate for more fame.

Park Jeong-min as Lee Ho-jin

A.k.a. "Cup Noodles", he is Young-bin's best friend. An average boy-next-door who gets thrown into the world of showbiz when his best friend becomes a star. He now acts as Young-bin's personal manager and despite his will, is treated badly by the CEO, causing him to be skeptical about his job.

Lee Dong-hwi as Geo-book (Turtle)

Young-bin and Ho-jin's childhood friend. A happy-go-lucky guy who is bright and positive, but has no luck with the ladies. He acts as the driver and odd job man of the group.
