What happens when your favorite idol is accused of murder? ENA's new drama, "IDOL I," explores this very question, pairing a star lawyer with her idol-turned-client. A newly unveiled romance-focused poster hints at their dangerously close relationship, starring Girls' Generation's Sooyoung and actor Kim Jae Yeong.
Between Fandom and Felony
