CNBLUE's frontman Jung Yong-hwa will be making a guest appearance in SBS' weekend TV series, "Gentleman's Dignity."

In Wednesday's press release, FNC Entertainment officials let slip that Jung will play Kim Ha-neul's former student in the 13th episode of "Gentleman's Dignity," scheduled to air this Saturday.

The firm explained that Jung, along with Kim and actor Jang Dong-gun, shot the scene at an Italian restaurant in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, on Tuesday.

"It's such an honor to be asked to appear in such a great TV series. I was also star-struck to shoot the scene with senior actors whom I respect a lot," Jung was quoted as saying.

The popular 20-part series surrounds the story of four middle-aged men who go through love, breakup, success and failure.

The drama is currently earning high ratings, and has climbed up two spots on the weekend primetime ratings chart last week to grab the second spot, after the chart-topper, "My Husband Got a Family."

The show co-stars Kim Suro, Kim Won-bin, Kim Jung-nam and CNBLUE's Lee Jong-hyun.

Meanwhile, Jung first expanded his career into acting as one of the main characters in SBS' hit series, "He's Beautiful" (2009) alongside Jang Keun-suk and Park Shin-hye.

He last starred in MBC's "Heartstrings" in 2011 and will be heading to Japan with his acting partner Park Shin-hye to attend a promotional fan meeting for "Heartstrings."
