'A Business Proposal' is a mega-hit
Sejeong’s recent K-drama ‘A Business Proposal’ is a 12 episodes series that became viral after many Kpop idols like Jungkook, Hoshi, and others told that they watched the series as well. 'A Business Proposal' is a romantic comedy based on a famous webtoon about an office employee who goes on a blind date with her company's CEO. Kang Tae Mu, the CEO with everything from beauty to fortune, has been portrayed by Ahn Hyo Seop. Meanwhile, Kim Sejeong plays the role of an ordinary food researcher Shin Ha Ri, who is on a blind date with Kang Tae Mu instead of her best friend. The romantic comedy received great appreciation for the chemistry between the leads and the comedy.
