Newcomer Hong Min-ki, who received a lot of love for his role as the younger Joo Ji-hoon in ‘Love on a Single-Log Bridge’, has been cast in ‘Study Group’.

Tving original ‘Study Group’ (directed by Lee Jang-hoon and Yoo Beom-sang, written by Eom Sun-ho and Oh Bo-hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Ylabplex, provided by Tving) is an action comedy that depicts the bloody college entrance exam story that unfolds as Yoon Ga-min, a boy who wants to study hard but is only good at fighting, forms a study group at the worst school in the world. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, and the lineup of popular actors Hwang Min-hyun, Han Ji-eun, Cha Woo-min, Lee Jong-hyun, Shin Soo-hyun, Yoon Sang-jung, and Gong Do-yu was previously revealed, garnering much attention.

Hong Min-ki has joined the drama as ‘Park Gun-yeop’. Park Gun-yeop is a first-year student at Yuseong High School with a blunt personality and somewhat rebellious aura. Hong Min-ki will transform into Gun-yeop with charisma and tsundere charm, and will show special chemistry with Hwang Min-hyun (as Yoon Ga-min) and Han Ji-eun (as Lee Han-kyung) as well as the study group members, doubling the fun of the drama.

Hong Min-ki is a rookie who appeared in the U+ Mobile TV original ‘The Night Has Come’ and made a mark on the public. In the drama, he plays Jang Hyun-ho. With his warm visuals and tall physique, he charmingly portrays a character full of justice, and he also garnered attention with his stable acting.

In addition, in the recently popular tvN drama ‘Love on a Single-Log Bridge’, he played the younger Seok Ji-won (played by Joo Ji-hoon) and received a lot of love from viewers for his comic-like visuals and cheerful charm. In particular, he bickers with the young Yoon Ji-won (played by Oh Ye-ju) and presents special chemistry, while also enriching the piece by densely unfolding a heart-fluttering and pleasant past narrative. Accordingly, Hong Min-ki, who showed acting that perfectly immersed himself in the piece, received favorable reviews from the public. Accordingly, Hong Min-ki, who immediately announced his next work, is raising expectations for what kind of passionate acting he will show in the new piece.

Meanwhile, the TVING original ‘Study Group’ will be exclusively released on TVING on the 23rd.
