A new ordeal awaits Ryeo-woon, who is nearing the end of his 10-year trainee life.

In episode 9 of the Genie TV original drama ‘Namib’ (written by Eom Sung-min, directed by Han Sang-jae and Kang Min-goo), which will air on the 20th, another rival who is jealous of Yoo Jin-woo (played by Ryeo-woon) will appear as he becomes a popular star through an audition program.

Earlier, Yoo Jin-woo gained much attention from the public after appearing on the audition program Star Rise. Although he was unfortunately eliminated in the live broadcast due to a single word from fellow trainee Kim Yi-joon (played by Ha Yoo-joon), he is receiving a lot of attention to the point that exclusive content featuring Yoo Jin-woo is being produced.

Thanks to this, many agencies that wanted to recruit Yoo Jin-woo appeared to Kang Soo-hyun (played by Go Hyun-jung), and after careful consideration, Kang Soo-hyun signed a transfer contract with TA Entertainment. As a result, Yoo Jin-woo, who became an official trainee at TA Entertainment, is expected to have a smooth road ahead of him by using the popularity he gained from Star Rise to appear in advertisements, events, and even join the debut team.


The photos released by the production team show Yoo Jin-woo again running into his rival Kim Yi-joon (played by Ha Yoo-joon) with whom he performed a duet at the audition, foreshadowing another crisis. Not only does he know about his past, but he also used it as an excuse to threaten him with getting off the live broadcast, so Yoo Jin-woo‘s cold gaze at Kim Yi-joon is heightening the tension.

To make matters worse, Yoo Jin-woo is grabbing Kim Yi-joon by the collar in the company practice room and expressing intense anger, making viewers curious about the inside story. Attention is focused on how Eugene Woo, who has become a team with the worst relationship that has held him back, will overcome this situation.

The show airs on the 20th at 10 p.m.
