Cha Eunwoo reportedly considered for 'Bon Appetit, Your Majesty 2' lead

Actor Cha Eunwoo is reportedly being considered for the lead role in the upcoming drama 'Bon Appetit, Your Majesty 2'. While the first season was a significant success, reaching a peak viewership of 17.1% in Korea and hitting number one on Netflix globally, the second season will feature a new cast, with Im Yoona and Lee Chaemin departing the series.

Fantagio officials stated on August 11 that the project is currently under review. The potential casting has sparked significant public debate and criticism online. Some viewers have expressed dissatisfaction regarding the decision to cast Cha while he is still serving in the military and amidst unresolved tax evasion controversies. Critics have also compared the casting decision to previous production shifts, such as when Park Sung Hoon withdrew from the first season following social media controversy.
