Genie TV and ENA bring a new series, Starry Night (Namib), towards the end of 2024. The Go Hyun-Jung and Ryeoun drama has recently announced a new cast line-up joining the show.
Starry Night tells the story of a mother named Kang Soo-Hyun, the CEO of an entertainment agency. Due to her past mistakes, she has been fired from her position. However, she receives severance pay and can buy out a trainee, Yoo Jin-Woo. Soo-Hyun becomes selfish thinking about her child’s welfare. So, she decides to train Jin-Woo and sell him to another firm. With that money, she can run a new business.
Eventually, Soo-Hyun sees Jin-Woo’s potential and drops her selfish plan. She then decides to support and guide the trainee genuinely.
