Actor Nam Kyu-hee and boy band B1A4’s Gongchan have been cast in lead roles of the new web drama “Mokkoji Kitchen,” producer Whynot Media announced Friday.

The drama revolves around chef Moo-young (played by Gongchan), who runs a small fusion Korean restaurant, and a college student Ro-in (Nam), who is a foodie.

The web drama will be produced as part of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange’s joint project, “2021 Hallyu Living Culture Hanmadang Mookkoji Korea.” It is meant to spread Korean culture around the world.

The drama will begin airing from Sept. 6 via Mokkoji Korea’s YouTube channel.
