"The female lead for 'Real' has not been chosen yet. Individuals can participate in auditions through online submissions. For those who are unfamiliar with this process, they can upload their profile and audition through the homepage. Auditions have been extended until August 7," stated the production company in the report.

Even Kim Soo Hyun has been actively participating in finding his onscreen partner. The star had recently made use of Instagram in hopes of catching the attention of hopeful female actors. Check out the post made by Kim Soo Hyun on Instagram here.

Aside from actively helping out in finding his partner for "Real," the South Korean actor is also set to appear at the KCON in Los Angeles. Like his numerous fans in America, Kim Soo Hyun admitted that he too is very much excited.

"I haven't had many chances to meet American fans in person," stated the star, adding, "I'm so happy and excited to see them at KCON 2015. I want to make unforgettable memories with them!"

Apart from Kim Soo Hyun, other notable stars include Ki Hong Lee of "Maze Runner" and the producers from the hit series, "My Love from Another Star." The KCON 2015 is certainly one event not to be missed.
