Netflix has announced the production of a new Korean series, "Variety," which is set to explore the desires and ambitions of K-pop idols and their fans. The series, directed by Kim Yong-hoon, will star Son Ye-jin and Jo Yu-ri, both prominent figures in the Korean entertainment industry. The announcement comes as Netflix continues to expand its Korean content strategy, following the global success of series like "Squid Game" and "Kingdom."Son Ye-jin, known for her role in "Crash Landing on You," will play Se-eun, a top entertainment executive fighting to revive a struggling idol group. Meanwhile, Jo Yu-ri, who gained recognition as player 222 in "Squid Game" Seasons 2 and 3, will star as Seung-hui, an obsessive fan whose fierce devotion to her favorite idol takes her down a dangerous path.
