On June 21, tvN confirmed to South Korean media that the pair are set to star in the forthcoming drama. According to Star News, as translated by Soompi, One-Shot Scandal will revolve around a scandal between a former star athlete and a top private tutor who enter the world of private education.

Jeon will be playing Nam Haeng-sun, an ex-national athlete who runs a small side dish shop. Despite her age and lack of experience, Haeng-sun remains optimistic and motivated, and belatedly joins the market of private education for college entrance exams.

Meanwhile, Jung will star as Choi Chi-yeol, a top instructor in the private education sphere who crosses paths with Haeng-sun. Despite his intelligence, wealth and fame, Chi-yeol is uptight and cold towards others, unlike the bright and energetic Haeng-sun.

One-Shot Scandal will be helmed by director Yoo Jae-won, who last worked on the hugely popular Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Yoo is joined by screenwriter Yee Hee-seung (Familiar Wife). The upcoming drama will mark their third project together, following King of High School (2014) and Oh My Ghostess (2015).
