Hong Kyung succeeded in transforming his image into SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Revenant" which is on the rise, surpassing the ratings of 10% (Nielsen Korea). He played the role of Lieutenant Lee Hong-sae of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's violent crime investigation unit and showed cool and sharp charm, erasing the weak image of his previous work.

In particular, he also drew attention from viewers by showing his presence among veterans such as Kim Tae-ri, who is possessed by evil spirits, Oh Jung-se, a folkloric professor who digs into the identity of evil spirits, and Kim Won-hae, a senior police officer. Unlike the early days when he did not believe in evil spirits, he has also increased his influence in the drama since the recent death of Kim Won-hae, solving clues by facing evil spirits and scenes.

In the Netflix original series "D.P - Season 2", which will be released on the 28th, Choi Hyun-wook will lead an episode by playing Sergeant Sin Ah-hwi, who stands in the center of a front-line unit violence incident. In the trailer, he shows defiance to Son Sukku, who plays Captain Im Ji-seop, drawing various speculations. In September, tvN's "Twinkling Watermelon", which deals with the story of a high school band, will also challenge fantasy romance materials.

Park Jihoon, a singer, is releasing a series of new dramas and movies. Recently, KBS 2TV's new drama "Love Song for Illusion" is being filmed, and the release of the movie "Beautiful Audrey", which was filmed earlier, is also waiting.
