Actor Gong Yoo and actress Lee Min-jung [Born Factory]

Actor Gong Yoo and actress Lee Min-jung have decided to play in famed scriptwriters Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran's TV series "Big."

The pair's forthcoming series is set to hit the airwaves in June, though the show's broadcaster has not been decided yet, the drama's distributer Born Factory said in a statement this morning.

In the drama, Gong is to play the male lead named Suh Yoon-jae in his 30s, who has a 18-year-old's soul inside, while Lee is to play Suh's fiancee, Gil Da-ran.

"Big" is Gong's comeback project after starring in MBC's "Coffee Prince" five years ago, in which he was arguably the biggest star in the cast along with actress Yoon Eun-hye.

Meanwhile, Lee has been building a strong acting career through "Cyrano Agency" in 2010, "Love On-Air" in 2011 and drama "Midas" (SBS, 2011).

An official from the distributor told 10Asia in a short telephone interview on Friday that girl group miss A's member Bae Suzy has been offered a role in "Big," but she has not confirmed to play in the show yet.

"Big" will go into its production once all members in the cast are set.
