Kang Min-hyuk Being Siblings with Hyeri in ‘Entertainer’
Lee Hye-ri was Kang Min-hyuk’s co-star in the SBS drama series Entertainer, back in 2016. The overall story is about the main character, Shin Suk-ho (played by actor Jisung), who wants to assemble a ragtag band. Through various struggles and incidents, he tries to put things in their right place with the help of band members also his loyal friends.
Geurin (played by Hyeri) is the guardian/big sister of Jo Ha-neul (played by Minhyuk). She lost her parents when she was in high school and Ha-neul’s family raised her in the absence of their dead son, Jo Ha-neul’s big brother. They took care of her like she’s their real daughter. So after their death in a car accident, she promised to repay their kindness by taking care of their only son, Ha-neul.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk’s character, Jo Ha-nNeul, is a high school student in his last year. Even though he is cold on the outside, he is actually a kind teenager with an amazing talent in music. His life was ruined after his best friend, Lee Ji-young, accused him of sexually abusing her. With the record he had, he was doomed to face rejection, hatred, and was bullied at school. It also made it harder for him to become a musician, because there would be a negative attitude from people towards him. Shin Suk-ho then decides to help him by looking for the real abuser in order to clear Ha-neul’s name.
There’s no romantic-thingy relationship between Ha-neul and Geurin. Because when Ha-neul’s parents die, Geurin takes her sisterly guardianship role very seriously. Along the story, these two develop a tight bond that is evident to all around them.
