Super Junior’s Shindong and Infinite’s Sung Kyu are cast in JTBC Noble Life

Super Junior’s Shindong and Infinite’s Sung Kyu were recently cast in JTBC Lee Soo Geun Kim Byung Man’s Noble Life as fixed members.
Lee Dong Hee, a producer for the show, says, “I was looking for someone to cast in our show. When I saw Super Junior and Infinite on the show last year, I offered Shindong and Sungkyu the job. We believe Shindong will do a great job on the show because he is a close friend of Lee and Kim. And we also expect Sung Kyu to give a different perspective.”
The show has aired for about a year and they decided to cast fixed members for the first time to change the format of the show.
At first, Kim and Lee competed against each other in their rooftop house. But these days on the show, various guests appear as new tenants living next door. Shindong and Sung Kyu will be long term tenants on the show to make people laugh.
The show’s new format will air in February.
