Island’s Lee Hong-ki and ILLIT’s Wonhee have been confirmed to make exclusive guest appearances, completing a “dream cameo lineup” that’s capturing global fans’ curiosity.

‘Spring Through the Seasons’ is a modern youth-driven musical romance that follows the story of Sa-gye, a top K-pop band star who is unexpectedly ousted from his group.
