A post uploaded on Instagram by Henry caught the eyes of the fans of the hit drama "Descendants of the Sun". The idol wearing a desert-camo fatigue, commented, " How's the outfit?"

The hit drama which surpassed the viewer ratings of 30 percent in just nine episodes, already had an idol appear as a cameo. A boy group member SHINee's Onew (Lee Jinki) plays a recurring role in the drama.

But speculations rose among fans that Henry may not be appearing in Descendants of the Sun starring Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-gyo at all, but may play a role in a parody skit as Super Junior routinely films parodies of popular South Korean dramas such as "Coffee Prince" and "Reply 1994".

Descendants of the Sun's popularity is phenomenal over Asia, especially in Korea and China. Already enthusiastic fans of the hit drama are rushing to filming spots in Greece and Gangwondo, South Korea.

Its rising popularity sparked speculation the new drama series may beat "The Moon Embracing the Sun," a historical and fantasy drama series aired in 2012, which recorded up to 42.2 percent.

Descendants of the Sun is a 16-episode long drama telling a love story between an army captain and a female doctor, who are on a mission together in a fictional war-torn country called Uruk to save lives. Unlike other Korean dramas, it was pre-produced.
