tvN's new weekend drama Jeong Nyeon has confirmed its premiere date for October 12 and unveiled its first two posters. 

Jeong Nyeon tells the story of Yoon Jeong Nyeon, a girl with a talent for singing who strives to become the best gugak actor. The K-drama is set against the backdrop of the immediate aftermath of the Korean War in the 1950s, an era characterized by poverty.
