As per South Korea media reports, actor Ji Chang Wook and Park Bo Gum are set to team up for this upcoming show and the makers are also in talks with BLACKPINK’s Jennie.
K-pop star Jennie, who is currently busy with another variety show ‘Apartment 404’, is reportedly in talks with the makers of the variety show ‘My Name is Gabriel’. JTBC staff revealed to media outlets that even though there is no official confirmation, the BLACKPINK member is in talks to join the cast.
A JTBC official confirmed that several actors including Ji Chang Wook, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Park Myung Soo, and Hong Jin Kyung have been roped in for the show. Kim Tae Ho will be the producing director for the show. The shoot for the show is expected to commence in early March, while it is likely to premiere in June.

All four members of BLACKPINK renewed their contract with YG Entertainment for group activities; however, they parted ways with the agency for their solo activities. Following this, Jennie went 'Solo' for her activities and launched her agency OA (ODD ATELEIR).
She also made her variety show comeback with 'Apartment 404' in February 2024 which also stars ‘Alchemy of Soul’s Oh Na Ra, Running Man’s Yang Se Chan, Moving’s Cha Tae Hyun and Leung Ha among others. The show which got a lot of buzz is currently witnessing a dip in ratings.
