[KD] Myung-wol the Spy heads overseas for shoots

Some of these stills come from the drama’s recent overseas shoot, which took place at Singapore’s Sands resort hotel. The shoot included the drama’s four main leads, which, aside from Eric playing Kang-woo, includes Han Ye-seul in the title role of North Korean spy Myung-wol, as well as her spy boss/partner Choi Ryu (Lee Jin-wook), and the woman in a one-sided love with Kang-woo (along with half the country, I’d bet), In-ah, played by Jang Hee-jin.

The Singapore scenes involve Kang-woo’s overseas concert tour, during which he becomes entangled with the two spies for the first time. The shot of Han Ye-seul on the motorcycle was also filmed in Singapore, wherein she skillfully follows Kang-woo as he’s being driven in a taxi.

By the way, Eric has a song on the drama’s soundtrack, an uptempo track titled “Hands Up” that is performed in the drama by Kang-woo. Eric explained that the song features music and lyrics he wrote himself, and will be accompanied by “flashy choreography and performance to suit a character who’s a Hallyu star.” I’ve no doubt he’s up to the task, since he’s got over a decade of experience performing to huge crowds as part of Shinhwa. The man’s got moves.

Myung-wol the Spy replaces the 20-episode Monday-Tuesday drama Baby-Faced Beauty, and premieres on July 11. Fun fun.
