Although it has not been made official that Lee will star in the series, he will be involved to some degree because Artist Company, the production company and management agency he owns, will take part in development of the new season.
Reborn Rich, which starred
Song Joong-ki as a loyal corporate lackey who was left for dead, then reincarnated as the grandson of the company's chairman, achieved a staggering 27 per cent viewership rating, the highest ever for a Korean cable drama series.
Season two of the show will reportedly expand its focus to a global corporation.
