Hong Kyung in ‘Cheongseol’ has transformed into a 100% pure romantic male lead.

The movie ‘Cheongseol’ is a work that contains the refreshing and exciting moments of Yong-jun (played by Hong Kyung) who goes straight for love, Yeoreum (played by Noh Yoon-seo) who gets to know his true feelings, and his younger sister Ga-eul (played by Kim Min-joo) who cheers them on. It has been receiving a lot of attention since its release on the 6th, ranking first at the box office.

In the movie, Hong Kyung plays Yong-jun who falls in love at first sight with Yeoreum whom he meets by chance while helping his parents with his part-time job delivering lunch boxes. He realistically portrays the portrait of a youth who falls in love as if time had stopped when he first saw Yeoreum at the swimming pool, and filled the theater with tickling excitement. In particular, Yongjun‘s emotions fluctuating dozens of times a day as he waits for Yeoreum’s call reminded viewers of their first love, drawing sympathy.



‘Cheongseol’ focuses more on the characters‘ faces and gestures than in other films, as the main characters communicate through sign language. Among them, Hong Kyung enriches the play with more colorful expressions and delicate emotional performance, further increasing the immersion of the piece. He proved his limitless acting skills once again by portraying a pure romance that is 100% pure, 180 degrees different from the strong impressions he had shown so far, and completing the clumsy but beautiful bare face of youth.

Meanwhile, Hong Kyung is waiting to meet the public with various works such as the movie ‘Cheongseol’, which doubled the emotion with his emotional acting, the dramas ‘Concrete Market’, Netflix’s ‘This Star Is Needed’, and ‘Good News’, so his future activities are even more anticipated.
