Actor Shin Do-hyun will be advancing into Hollywood through season 2 of the Netflix original series ‘The Recruit’.

The ‘The Recruit’ series tells the story of Owen Hendricks (played by Noah Centineo), a rookie lawyer who starts working at the CIA‘s legal office after graduating from law school and gets caught up in international espionage activities. In season 2, the setting has expanded to Korea, including Seoul and the National Intelligence Service.

Shin Do-hyun plays Owen’s first love, ‘Lee Eugene’, and works with ‘Noah Centineo’. Eugene is a character Owen met when his father was working in Korea, and his presence has piqued viewers‘ curiosity since the beginning of the series.

Shin Do-hyun fully displayed the charm of Eugene, who is both affectionate and brave, as he helps Owen without hesitation when he comes to solve a case. Especially in the scene where he says to Owen, who doesn’t want to drag her into a dangerous situation, “The choice is mine, and I need adventure,” he left a deep impression on viewers with his proactive and strong appearance.



Also, despite this being his first Hollywood work, Shin Do-hyun caught the eye by blending into the work with his fluent English skills and his own charming character. While showing a free-spirited appearance enjoying music on stage as a band member, he proved his potential in Hollywood by completing a three-dimensional character as a reliable friend and supporter to Owen.

Regarding Shin Do-hyun‘s first Hollywood work, global viewers responded enthusiastically through numerous review sites, saying, “She deserves a little more screen time,” “She showed amazing chemistry with Noah Centineo,” and “I want to see Eugene in the next season too.” In this way, expectations are high for the diverse spectrum that Shin Do-hyun, who has just started to make a leap forward, will expand.

Meanwhile, Season 2 of ‘The Recruit’, which has been gaining global popularity following the previous season, was released worldwide on January 30 and is currently streaming on Netflix.
