"Bungee Jumping Of Their Own" was originally a film, released in 2011, which is now getting an OTT drama remake. The film stars Lee ByungHun as Seo InWoo, Lee EunJu as In TaeHee, and Yeo HyunSoo as Im HyunBin. JaeHyun will be fulfilling the character originally played by Yeo HyunSoo. The series will have 16 episodes of 25 minutes each and it will be a Kakao TV original production. The rest of the cast has not been confirmed yet.

The news started trending worldwide on Twitter soon after it was confirmed with phrases such as "ACTOR JAEHYUN", "ACTOR JAEHYUN IS BACK" and more.

Fans are also taking due note of how incredible it is that JaeHyun has a keen eye for choosing interesting projects.
it's the way Jaehyun did not stick to those typical mainstream characters and jumped off straight to complex role and angsty plot. man knows what he's doing, he's confident that he'll give justice to the role and so he accepted it
