Park Joo-hyun is moving to solidify her position as an actress.

Having recently made herself known through the drama ‘Perfect Family’ and the popular entertainment program ‘Iron Girls’, she is determined to gain star quality through her leading role next year.

In particular, she has been consistently silent on the issue amidst recent allegations of a two-year relationship with Winner member Song Min-ho, drawing attention.

Park Joo-hyun will transform into a genius forensic scientist in the new drama ‘Hunter with a Scalpel’, scheduled to be released next year.

In the drama, which is advertised as a crime psychological thriller, the forensic scientist Se-hyun, who discovers traces of her father‘s murder while performing an autopsy, sets out to catch her father before the police in order to hide her past that she wants to erase.

In the drama, Park Joo-hyun plays Seo Se-hyun, who has a past that she wants to hide to the point of wanting to die. As a genius character with outstanding intelligence, she will express her complex inner self and emotions on the borderline between good and evil in a three-dimensional way.

She will show extraordinary father-daughter chemistry with Park Yong-woo, who plays the role of Yoon Jo-gyun, a psychopath father.

As she takes on the title role in this drama and takes the lead in the drama, her determination is also extraordinary. As he has said before, “I want to act smartly so that I don’t have any regrets,” he plans to fully unfold the leading role given to him.

A graduate of ‘Han National University of Arts’, he has shown stable acting skills through dramas such as ‘Human Class’, ‘The Marriage Ban, Joseon Marriage Ban’, etc., and he garnered attention by challenging a triathlon (ironman triathlon) with Uee, Jin Seo-yeon, and Seol In-ah on the entertainment program ‘Iron Girls’.

In particular, it is reported that he has been dating singer Song Min-ho for two years since they worked together in the Netflix movie ‘Operation Seoul’ in 2022. Regarding this, his agency stated, “It is his private life, so we cannot confirm it.”
