On July 14th various media outlets shared that Lee Joon will be the latest addition to the cast of the upcoming series "The Escape of Seven" directed and written by the people behind "The Penthouse: War in Life." 

Lee Joon's agency Prain TPC responded to the casting reports through the media outlet Dispatch. The agency stated that the idol-actor is currently reviewing the offer to star in the series.

"The Escape of Seven" will be the latest collaboration work of director Joo Dong Min and writer Kim Soon Ok. The drama will revolve around seven prisoners who entered prison at the same time. It will tell the story of how they will become friends and unite to survive and escape prison.

If Lee Joon confirms his casting for "The Escape of Seven," this will be his follow-up work.

Lee Joon made his acting debut while still being part of his former k-pop group MBLAQ. In 2015, Lee Joon has been more active as an actor than an idol. He has starred in several dramas such as "IRIS 2," "Gap Dong," "Mr. Back," "Heard it Through the Grapevine," "Vampire Detective," "My Father is Strange," and more.
