On the 2nd, his agency YY Entertainment announced, “Kim Sungjeong will appear as Kim Jinwoong in the tvN drama ‘Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo,’ which will premiere on the 23rd.” ‘Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo’ is a fantasy romance depicting the process of a boy, Gyeonwoo, born with a destined death, and a shaman girl, Seonnyeo, trying to prevent it, rescuing each other through their turbulent and intense first love as eighteen-year-olds. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, the drama is directed by Kim Yongwan and written by Yang Jihun. The character Kim Jinwoong, played by Kim Sungjeong, exudes a strong appearance and a rebellious youth vibe on the outside, but internally, he is a complex character with a somewhat sloppy and humane side coexisting. Throughout the drama, he will interact with the main characters, sometimes conflicting and sometimes sharing friendship, showing the growth of youth. Particularly, how Kim Sungjeong portrays the emotional spectrum of Kim Jinwoong, where strength meets humor, roughness meets purity, will be a key point to watch.

Portraying one of Geumseongje’s gang members and showcasing a sharp image, he garnered attention, and now, he is embarking on a new challenge as an actor in this drama, taking on a role that requires deeper emotional acting and character development. ‘Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo’ is a highly anticipated work by tvN for the second half of 2025, featuring a fresh combination with the addition of newcomer Kim Sungjeong to the solid lineup of young actors like Choi Hyun and Chu Youngwoo. The production team also raised expectations by stating, “The actors are embodying delicate characters based on their individual personalities and energy.” The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo’ will premiere on June 23rd at 8:50 PM, unfolding the profound themes of youth love, growth, and destiny with stylish direction.
