‘Casino’ Hojo Cast in Netflix‘s ‘Xo, Kitty: Season 2’ [Official]

Actor Hojo has joined the Netflix series ‘Xo, Kitty: Season 2’.

‘Xo, Kitty’ is a series that depicts Kitty’s exciting journey as she enters Korea to attend her mother‘s high school and her boyfriend’s high school. The previous season recorded 72.08 million viewing hours in just 4 days of its release, entered the TOP 10 in 90 countries, and ranked 2nd in the Netflix Global TOP 10 TV (English) category.

Hojo shared his thoughts on appearing in ‘Xo, Kitty: Season 2’ through his agency Just Entertainment. First, he said, “As a third culture kid (a term referring to people who grew up in two or more cultural backgrounds during their childhood and growing up years), it is meaningful to join the new season of the global production ‘XO, Kitty’, which respects various cultures and languages.”

He then raised the expectations of potential viewers by boldly expressing his ambition, saying, “Since ‘XO, Kitty’ is a production that shows new possibilities by overcoming existing barriers, I want to add familiar yet new fun and charm to the viewers through the character I play.”

Hojo has appeared in various dramas such as NBC‘s ‘DEAD GIRLS DETECTIVE AGENCY’, FOX·AMAZON’s ‘GOOD PEOPLE’, and movies such as ‘HAN’, ‘LILY CHAN & THE DOOM GIRL’, ‘TIGER GIRL’, ‘DON‘T BE A HERO’. He has been steadily acting in the United States through his works. After expanding his scope of activities to Korea, he left a deep impression with his passionate performance as the young Han Soo-jin in Disney+’s ‘Casino’.

The Netflix series ‘XO, Kitty: Season 2’, starring Hojo, will be available exclusively on Netflix on January 16 (Thursday).
