Korean idol G.O of boy band MBLAQ has confirmed his place in the cast of So Ji-sub's TV series, taking on the challenge of his first full-time acting role.

On Friday, J.Tune Camp announced that G.O will solve cyber crimes with So as a special investigative detective named Lee Tae-kyun in "Ghost" (tentative title), which is set to air every Wednesday and Thursday night starting May.

"This will be a chance for G.O to show the audience a whole different side to him aside from singing," an official with J.Tune said in the statement, adding that he is currently preparing for his role.

"Ghost," helmed by producer Kim Hyung-sik from TV series "Sign," "I am a Legend" and "Cain and Abel," tells the story of detectives in a cyber crime investigative service.

The show will also star actress Lee Yeon-hee, who will play a female detective alongside So.

Born Jung Byung-hee, G.O first made his debut in 2007 through group TYKEYS. Two years later, he joined MBLAQ (Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality), with the group's other members, Seung-ho, Lee Joon, Chun-dung and Mir.

Having wrapped up promoting the upgraded version of their fourth mini-album, "BLAQ% Ver," the boys will kick off their Asia tour with their first stop in Indonesia on June 30.
