Thanks to T-ara’s Qri, Lee Hae In will appear on Japanese TV series

T-ara’s Qri recently said that she gave away her role in the Japanese TV series Bayside Shakedown TV Special to her best friend, actress Lee Hae In.

The production company for the series, which will air on Fuji TV, cast Qri for the series but her schedule has kept her busy in Japan, so, she suggested they cast her good friend Lee.

Lee will play the role of a foreign girl named Soo Hyun, who is beautiful and fluent in Japanese. She will perform in the series with lead actors, including Yuji Oda, Atsushi Ito, and Yuki Uchida, from the movie Bayside Shakedown The Movie 3.

Director Motohiro Katsuyuki, who previously directed the movie Bayside Shakedown, will also direct the series. The series will air in September on TV prior to Bayside Shakedown The Movie 4′s release.

Lee will debut in May as a member of new girl group, composed of seven members, with other actresses, including Hwang Ji Hyun, Choi Soo Eun, and model Kim Hye Ji.
