KARA's Kang Jiyoung has been cast for the upcoming Korean-Japanese drama "Rainbow Rose". It was reported that Jiyoung was chosen for the role due to KARA's rising popularity in Japan. The youthful melodrama has started its shooting on November 5th last year.

On February 13th, Japanese network NHKBS11, "Han Love" showed scenes from the "Rainbow Rose" shooting, attracting a lot of public interest.

That same day, Rainbow Rose also filmed at Incheon beach. Kang Jiyoung met the production crew with a bright smile and explained the scene setting in near-fluent Japanese, impressing the crew members.

"Rainbow Rose" is directed by Kim Suryong, who previously worked on SBS "Lie to Me", and will be broadcasted on April through TVTOKYO and Public Korean. The drama brings students from different cultural backgrounds into the same boarding house, where they learn about friendship and love. Kang will be playing the role of Yuri, a lively student majoring in fashion.
