Gong Myung is about to create a new title of ‘prolific actor’.

Starting in April, he will continue his full-scale activities by releasing four leading roles in a row. This is an unrivaled level of activity among male actors in their early 30s, and it is even more eye-catching because he has achieved his goal of “working without resting” after being discharged from the military in 2023.

He will return to the small screen after four years through the new TVING drama ‘A Week Before I Die’, which will be aired for the first time on April 3.

The drama is a fantasy romance that depicts the story of a woman who is trying to turn her back on the world when her first love turns into a grim reaper. Director Kim Hye-young of the movie ‘It‘s Okay, It’s Okay!’ and the drama ‘Melo is My Nature’ will be directing.

In the drama, Gong Myung plays the role of Kim Ram Woo, a high school student with a warm appearance, and he will act alongside Kim Min Ha. Kim Ram Woo is also a grim reaper who passed away in an accident. The premise is that his first love, who became a grim reaper, meets again before the death of Jung Hee Wan, played by Kim Min Ha, and they find meaning in life and love.

Gong Myung showed off his fresh charm in a school uniform in the recently released poster.

He will show a new face in the Netflix drama ‘The Square’.’ The drama, scheduled to be released in April, is based on a webtoon of the same name and tells the story of Nam Ki Joon (So Ji Sub), who used to be a member of a violent organization and conquered the nation through fighting, but later broke his Achilles tendon and retired.

In the drama, which stars Cha Seung Won, Heo Joon Ho, and recent rising stars Choo Young Woo, Lee Joon Hyuk, and Lee Beom Soo, Gong Myung plays the successor of Gu Bong San, who is in a rivalry with So Ji Sub‘s violent organization. He, who has been loved for his cute and warm charm, will challenge the noir genre for the first time and show off high-difficulty action scenes.

He will also show a sweet romance with Girls’ Generation member and actress Choi Soo-young. He will return to his first love once again in ‘Please Quit Drinking’, which will air from May 12th.

In the romance drama that tells the story of Geum-ju (Choi Soo-young), who used to love drinking, reuniting with her first love who hates drinking and struggling to quit drinking, Gong Myung plays the role of Seo Eui-jun, the director of a public health center who hates drinking.

Gong Myung will also challenge his signature youth romance through the Netflix movie ‘History of Confession’, which is scheduled to be released in the second half of the year.
