Lee Do-hyun’s long-awaited comeback is set against the glittering backdrop of a brand-new series from Korea’s powerhouse writing duo, the Hong Sisters. Fresh off his military hiatus, the actor is stepping into the lead of Grand Galaxy Hotel, reuniting him with the creative minds behind the hit fantasy romance Hotel Del Luna.
Fans can’t wait to see what Lee Do-hyun brings to the table.
A Reunion at the Grand Galaxy
When news broke on June 26 that Lee Do-hyun had chosen Grand Galaxy Hotel as his first post-service project, fans celebrated the return of one of today’s most versatile leading men.
Lee Do-hyun’s agency, YUEHUA Entertainment Korea, revealed that while Lee Do-hyun fielded a slew of offers—from dramas to commercials—he ultimately felt this new Hong Sisters script was the right stage for his next chapter. “After much consideration, he has decided to make his return with ‘Grand Galaxy Hotel,’” they shared. “As the wait has been long, we ask for your continued support and anticipation.”
In the heat of things, we see Shin Si-ah joining the lineup. Not to be outshone, rising star Shin Si-ah will step into the role of his co-lead. Management SOOP confirmed her casting shortly after the initial reports, clarifying that although Go Min-si was once tapped for the part, scheduling shifts opened the door for Shin Si-ah to take center stage.
Behind the Scenes with the Hong Sisters
Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran—collectively known as the Hong Sisters—have a knack for blending whimsy, romance, and sharp humor. From their breakout hits to Hotel Del Luna’s ethereal storytelling, they’ve consistently pushed boundaries in Korean television. Lee Do-hyun’s eagerness to reunite with them speaks volumes about his trust in their vision.
Looking Ahead to Filming
Preparations are already underway, with cameras rolling slated for the second half of 2025. Though plot details remain under wraps, the promise of a cosmic-scale hotel drama—peppered with the Sisters’ signature wit—has viewers marking their calendars.
As the anticipation builds, one thing is clear: when Lee Do-hyun and Shin Si-ah check in to the Grand Galaxy Hotel, they’ll be carrying high hopes—and perhaps a few of our own dreams—into orbit.
