Lee Joo-myung and Kim Ji-seok's first move after admitting their romantic relationship...'My Youth' transforms into a quirky attractive actor



Actor Lee Joo-myung will return to JTBC's new Friday series 'My Youth', which premieres on September 5. Last year, he made headlines by acknowledging his romantic relationship with actor Kim Ji-seok, who is 12 years apart, played the role of 'Motherin', who has grown step by step from a child and established himself as an adult actor.

'My Youth' is an emotional romance drama about the reunion of Sun Woo-hae (Song Joong-ki) and his first love Sung Je-yeon (Cheon Woo-hee). Mo Tae-rin, played by Lee Joo-myung, is a child-turned-actor who is literally a 「Motae Celebrity」, and is a character with an honest and wild charm. When he reunites with his first love Kim Seok-joo (Seo Ji-hoon), who was in school, he will be responsible for another excitement of the play by creating a romance that is `sweet and sour.'

In the teaser video released earlier, Mo Tae-rin, who was embarrassed at the moment she faced Kim Seok-joo, stimulated viewers' curiosity. The production team raised expectations, saying, `It will capture the hearts of viewers with its unpredictable quirkyness and fresh charm.'




Lee Joo-myung is in the drama `25,212' and 'Missing: They Were There.', He gained attention by strengthening his solid acting skills in 'Kairos' and others. He showed his bold charm by challenging the screen with the film 'pilot', and demonstrated his acting ability by winning the Excellence Award at the Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards last year, the Best New Actress Award at the Seoul International Film Awards, and the Best New Actress Award at the Female Film of the Year Award.

Lee Joo-myung's transformation, which has reached a new turning point in both acting and charm, can be found on the upcoming September 5th at 8:50 p.m. 'My Youth'. It airs twice in a row every Friday and can be re-watched on Coupang Play.
