Take this potential casting news with a grain of salt, but for sure the show is happening. MBC is partnering up with a Chinese media to co-produce the Chinese version of celebrity fake dating/co-habiting show We Got Married. This trend follows the official licensing last year of popular K-variety shows such as Daddy, Where Are We Going? and Running Man to Chinese production companies to legitimately produce a C-version, all of which have been immensely popular.
Rather than just acting as a creative consultant, the upcoming Chinese WGM will actually be helmed by the original MBC production team which will be shipped over to China for the duration of the filming. This news was announced last year but my ears perked up when the C-sphere started buzzing about the potential hotly anticipated casting, which will reportedly include one Korean actor who is currently very popular in China. Production sources have leaked that the K-actor is reportedly Lee Jong Seok. Say whut?
The possible C-female cast according to the rumors include: Yang Zhi, Li Xing, Li Fei Er, and Yang Rong. The C-male cast include Eddie Peng and Zhang Rui. The show is scheduled to air Sunday nights during the spring season.

Does he even sleep?
Please don't!
this doesn't seem like to be a great decision
Dude needs to rest then make more dramas and films. I get that popularity in China is important but do it through acting not WGM, please.
I think he's popular enough not to be doing this kind of gig.
just...nope!
Weird. He's above WGM in Korea at least. He's getting popular in China and could probably use the exposure there that this would give him, but the whole WGM name just makes me think of cheesiness and C-listers. Just do trendy dramas, that seems the way to Chinese popularity more than anything.
Eddie!!
Joke, publicity stunt, the boy can not even talk properly in sbs awards, he will going to panic and he hates variety shows.
I would think he'd be passed going on WGM -- that show is usually for 1)idols 2)unknown actors.
Either way everyone knows that they use the WGM platform to gain popularity -- such is true with anyone that joins the show.
I can see why they'd choose c-market but why would they choose an actor "who is currently very popular in china"? If you're already that popular then would this decision be worth it? They must be weighing their options. Who knows if this will be a one step forward, 2 steps back sort of move for his career.
I'm assuming this will just be another we got married global edition.
He's skinshippy and has tons of aegyo so i can see him resembling some of Jae Rim's style although probably much more dialed down so i'm sure he'll be cute no matter who he's paired up with. Still feel lukewarm about this news.
