Actor Kim Ji-woo meets viewers in a different way in Namib.

Kim Ji-woo plays Yoon Ji-young, an idol trainee, in the original Genie TV drama 『Namib" (scripted by Um Sung-min, directed by Han Sang-jae and Kang Min-gu) and is expected to capture the small screen at the end of the year with her refreshing and lively charm.

Ji-young, who was divided by Kim Ji-woo, is an idol trainee belonging to Pandora Entertainment, where Kang Soo-hyun (Koh Hyun-jung) was co-represented. He always falls into the debut group by a short distance, but he will realistically portray his concerns about growth and the future by always making efforts with sincerity.




In addition, Ji-young is Yoo Jin-woo's only best friend, and it is expected that she will play the role of an 'atmosphere ventilation fairy' with each appearance by providing a strong friendship that takes care of Yoo Jin-woo with a dark side.

In response, Kim Ji-woo "I'm very happy to be able to work with actors and seniors who I usually respect in good works." I am nervous and looking forward to the day when I will show Ji-young, who has prepared so hard, to the viewers. Please give a lot of support to the warm story 'Namib' and Ji-young, which many people can sympathize with, raising questions about the main broadcast.

Kim Ji-woo started his acting career with KBS2 'Drama Special 2022 - Nineteen Sea otters' and was cast as So-young, the main character of the web drama 'Walking to the Wild 2023', showing off the essence of youth fantasy romance. As he is a newcomer who announced the news of being cast consecutively in the original TVing series 'Running Mate', attention is focusing on his performance in 'Namib'.




Meanwhile, 'Namib', starring Kim Ji-woo, is a drama about fired star producer Kang Soo-hyun and released long-term trainee Yoo Jin-woo meeting and moving toward their respective goals. It will premiere on ENA at 10 p.m. on the 23rd, and streaming will be provided free of charge on KT Genie TV and Genie TV Mobile immediately after the actual broadcast.
