Yoon Sang-hyun and Lee Jin-woo are drawing attention by playing an active role as Ryeo-woon‘s special assistants.

In the Genie TV original drama ‘Namib’ (written by Eom Sung-min, directed by Han Sang-jae and Kang Min-goo, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by SLL and Studio Woo Young-soo), the lovely father and son Shim Jun-seok (played by Yoon Sang-hyun) and Shim Jin-woo (played by Lee Jin-woo) are firmly supporting Yoo Jin-woo (played by Ryeo-woon) by fully demonstrating their hidden abilities.

Sim Jun-seok, who was once a successful producer, quit his main job after his son Shim Jin-woo’s accident and devoted himself to lyrics, but his passion for music has always been burning. One day, Sim Jun-seok, who discovered the potential of Yoo Jin-woo, who was brought in by his wife Kang Soo-hyun (played by Go Hyun-jung), supports him to achieve his dream with his keen observation and producing skills.

In particular, as they spend more time together, Sim Jun-seok‘s love for Yoo Jin-woo deepens, and he teaches him not only music but also cooking, housekeeping, and even memories of success, becoming another mentor that Yoo Jin-woo needs in his life. As a result, Yoo Jin-woo, who succeeded in auditions, is receiving love calls from large agencies, so attention is focused on whether producer Sim Jun-seok, who raised Yoo Jin-woo, will be reinstated using this as an opportunity.



Sim Jun-seok’s affectionate side, who cares for Yoo Jin-woo and his family, is enhanced by Yoon Sang-hyun‘s natural and witty acting, sometimes bringing laughter and sometimes sadness. As a father who loves his wife and son, and as a producer who raises trainees, Yoon Sang-hyun is working hard as the healing person in charge of ‘Namib’, and his performance is highly anticipated.

Meanwhile, his son Shim Jin-woo is building a strong friendship with Yoo Jin-woo as a study mate and training partner. While systematically managing the study assistance system that Yoo Jin-woo established, he proved his qualities as a manager, and did not spare his material and spiritual support by filming Yoo Jin-woo practicing.

Shim Jin-woo, who opened his eyes to design while making a hairband for his dear friend Yoon Ji-young (played by Kim Ji-woo), also came up with the image of ‘Namib’, a terrain where the desert and the sea meet, to capture Yoo Jin-woo’s unique characteristic of being pushed around like the sea. As a designer and next-generation management hopeful, Shim Jin-woo is growing rapidly, and people are curious about how he will help Yoo Jin-woo in the future.

Lee Jin-woo (as Shim Jin-woo), who is quietly but rapidly growing, is captivating viewers with his passionate acting that portrays the soft yet strong heart of Shim Jin-woo. Even in the midst of an unexpected accident and continuous bullying from classmates, Shim Jin-woo‘s positive energy, which is not easily broken, will continue to add vitality to the hearts of viewers.

Genie TV original drama ‘Namib’, where you can meet Yoon Sang-hyun and Lee Jin-woo, who are strong supporters just by their presence, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ENA, and streaming is provided free of charge on KT Genie TV and Genie TV Mobile immediately after the original broadcast.
