Action Jang Dong-yoon, Two Face Joo Jong-hyuk, and Bae Hyun-sung is healing...Kakao Entertainment Actors Receives 9 Drama



Actors of Kakao Entertainment are heating up the drama market in September. Jang Dong-yoon, Joo Jong-hyuk, and Bae Hyun-sung have been transforming into new characters one after another, expanding their acting spectrum, attracting viewers' attention. The challenges of those who wear their own colors in different genres prove the modifier 'modern actors'.

First, Jang Dong-yoon made a strong impression as Cha Soo-yeol, the son of a serial killer and a detective, in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Warts: The Killer's Outing'. From the first episode, he acted in action by shooting and scuffling, and was well received for releasing the emotions of Ko Hyun-jung and her mother and son, who were entangled in love and hatred, with restrained eyes. From the first broadcast, the work started its box office by surpassing 10% of the viewership, and even ranked seventh in Netflix's global top 10 (non-English). It is also significant in that Kakao Entertainment studio label Mega Monster participated in the production and improved its completeness.

Joo Jong-hyuk is showing his presence by going back and forth between two completely different faces. TV CHOSUN 'Confidence Man KR' is a versatile fraudster Myung-koo who gives off his clumsy and cute charm, while Disney+'s upcoming release 'Polaris' will play Park Chang-hee, the head of the elite security guard who guards the presidential candidate. His wide transformation, which freely digests conflicting characters in each work, attracts attention. In particular, 'Polaris' with prominent actors such as Jun Ji-hyun, Kang Dong-won, and Lee Mi-sook predicted a leap forward on the global stage.




Bae Hyun-sung appears as new judge Cho Phillip in tvN 'New President Project'. He is a person who has walked Tantan-daero like a principleist, but he suddenly parachutes into a chicken restaurant and shows the process of growing up through an incident. It is expected that young energy and veteran acting will be combined through breathing with Han Seok-kyu. Bae Hyun-sung, who has been engaged in various genres ranging from romance to action, is expected to deliver a pleasant laugh and healing this time.

The performance of Kakao Entertainment actors, who continue to transform beyond the limits of genres and characters, is giving fresh impetus to drama fans. Attention is focusing on what kind of narrative those with solid acting skills and differentiated charms will write in the future.
