Ahn Hyo-seop would reportedly play the role of a former taekwondo athlete Cheon Gook
Night In Paradise will explore multiple rumors surrounding the Chaebol family and their nexus with the entertainment industry. It will follow the story of a chaebol heiress who has to go through multiple obstacles. The reason behind her difficult life is the burden of being an illegitimate child.
Subsequently, the wealthy heiress' life takes a drastic turn when she encounters the wealthy and top ace of a mysterious club in Cheongdam-dong. They safeguard each other from evil and learn the real meaning of true love.
Meanwhile, Ahn Hyo-seop would reportedly play the role of a former taekwondo athlete Cheon Gook. After departing from the world of martial arts, Cheon Gook becomes the top master and ace of a secret club named Si Bel Homme.
