Actor Hong Kyung challenges his first voice acting role.

The Netflix film ‘This Star Needs’, which will be released on the 30th, depicts a romance between Nanyoung, an astronaut who dreams of exploring Mars, and Jay, who gave up on his dream of becoming a musician, as they move towards their dreams and love in Seoul in 2050.

In the drama, Hong Kyung plays Jay, a character who dreams of pursuing music and works at a retro audio equipment repair shop.He meets Nan-young by chance and they become entangled by fate, and they begin the world’s most distant long-distance romance.



Through this Jay, Hong Kyung will show a fresh and exciting yet affectionate and sorrowful performance.He is expected to increase the immersion of the viewers by acting warmly and comfortably at times, fitting the setting of a character who is emotional but also has a free spirit.

Hong Kyung’s unique soft voice is also expected to make the relationship between Jay and Nanyoung even more fluttery and dreamy.As he has been recognized for his delicate acting skills through various works, attention is focused on his performance that will stimulate the emotions of viewers through this work.

This challenge is even more meaningful because he was involved in many processes from character analysis to live-action filming and OST participation until Jay was born.You can see Jay, who is filled with Hong Kyung’s efforts, in Netflix’s first Korean animation film, ‘This Star Needs’, which will be released on May 30th.
