Group WEi member Kim Jun-seo has made a successful debut as an actor.

Kim Jun-seo gave a passionate performance as the main character Jung Da-on in the drama ‘Secret Love’ (Creator Jung Soo-yoon/Scriptwriter Lee Yoo-jin/Director Yang Kyung-hee), which was first released through Watcha on the 27th of last month.

In episodes 1 and 2, Kim Jun-seo received favorable reviews for his detailed portrayal of Jung Da-on‘s complex emotions, including her unrequited love for Jae-min (played by Kim Ho-young), her antipathy synergy with Sung-hyun (played by Cha Sun-hyung), and her anger toward Soo-hyun (played by Cha Jung-woo). In particular, the scene where he tells Jae-min not to meet Soo-hyun while drunk was full of poignant emotions.

In addition, Kim Jun-seo proved his stable acting skills by captivatingly digesting the character’s emotional range, such as confronting his father who visits the company to demand money, or becoming discouraged after witnessing his coworkers gossiping.

Thanks to Kim Jun-seo‘s performance, ‘Secret Between Us’ took first place on the Watcha series after its release, signaling a successful debut for him as an actor. ‘Secret Between Us’ is currently being simultaneously aired worldwide on various platforms, so the drama’s upward trend is expected to continue with each episode.

Kim Jun-seo debuted with WEi in 2020 and gained attention as an all-rounder member with both beautiful visuals and refreshing performance skills. Attention is focused on his future endeavors as he blossoms with his versatile charm not only in his main job but also as an actor. ‘Secret Relations’, starring Kim Jun-seo, is uploaded with new episodes every Thursday and Friday at midnight through Watcha.
