Model and broadcaster Jung Hyuk will be challenging his first serious drama.

On the 13th, his agency Esteem stated, “Jung Hyuk, who caught the public‘s attention with his supporting acting in the Coupang Play ‘SNL Korea’ series, will be expanding his scope of activities as an actor by starring in the web drama ‘Ghost Cupid - Kisswriting’.”.

‘Ghost Cupid - Kisswriting’ is the first AI drama attempted by SBS Medianet and is a work that tells the story of Kim Min-gyu (Lee Myung-joon), who has never been successful in love, meeting Ghost Woo-yeon who connects him with love.

Jung Hyuk has been cast as Ghost Woo-yeon who connects him with love, and is expected to reach out to viewers with visuals that boast perfect synchronization with the character in the drama. He will add fun to the drama by wittily expressing Wooyeon’s first crisis in 200 years of working as Ghost Cupid after meeting ‘Born Alone’ Kim Min-gyu.

Jung Hyuk, who previously displayed natural and witty acting in the ‘SNL Korea’ series, has made a name for himself by showing his witty banter and sense through various entertainment programs and web content. Viewers are paying attention to his ‘transformation into an actor’.

Meanwhile, ‘Ghost Cupid-Kisswriting’, starring Jung Hyuk, released the first episode on the YouTube channel ‘THE K-POP’ today, and is uploaded sequentially every Monday and Wednesday. It is scheduled to air on SBS M at 10:10 PM on December 4th.
