Lee Chae Min Considering New K-drama My Reason to Die Adapted From Webtoon

The follow up project after a breakout hit for any star is always interesting news and comes with heightened scrutiny. With great power comes greater responsibility lol. K-actor Lee Chae Min ended last year on a career high thanks to K-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (The Tyrant’s Chef) which was one of the biggest hits of 2025. Now he’s in talks for his first K-drama since that series aired and it’s another webtoon adaptation, this one titled My Reason to Die (Why I Choose to Die). While the title sounds ominous his character is actually a high school senior trying out for the national taekwondo team and is a romance sports drama. Okay, who is getting Twenty Five, Twenty One flashbacks lol, which I’m sure is still traumatizing for the fans of that drama. Anyhoo, Lee Chae Min for me is one of those good but not yet great actors and I hope his last drama performance doesn’t turn out to be the outlier and he can build on that momentum and improvement.
