SEOUL: Korean actor Bae Yong Joon plans to make a showbiz comeback next year, after being away from the screen for years, with only cameo appearances in the drama "Dream High" earlier this year, reported Korean media.
An official from Bae's management agency KEYEAST Entertainment said Wednesday that the star is "looking into a number of scripts" and aims to return to screen in the first half of next year, though "no details have been discussed yet".
The 39-year-old actor's earlier comeback plans bombed when "Drops of God, the drama he was due to appear in, was dropped in 2010 due to a host of production issues.
Bae became a household name after starring opposite Korean actress Choi Ji Woo in the hit 2002 drama serial "Winter Sonata", which sparked a wave of interest in Korean pop culture across Asia.
He was forced to take a break from acting after he hurt his neck and shoulders, when he fell off a horse while shooting the drama series "Legend" in 2007.
