THE BOYZ’s Juyeon is set to make his acting debut with a lead role in tvN’s upcoming fantasy romantic comedy “Juhan Iguk Daesagwan” (주한이ęµëŚ€ě‚¬ę´€).
According to My Daily’s exclusive report on October 16, the idol will take on the role of Bu Gyeong-jun, a counselor at the embassy at the center of the story — marking not just his first drama appearance, but his first lead role.
Bu Gyeong-jun is described as a gadget enthusiast who wears nearly identical jeans and checkered shirts every day, carries his electronics around in a backpack, and rarely shows emotion, appearing so quiet at times that he feels almost inanimate.
Juyeon (Lee Ju-yeon) debuted with THE BOYZ in 2017 and was active as the group’s main dancer. In August, he signed an exclusive contract with Ace Factory, the agency home to Lee Joon-hyuk, Jang Seung-jo, Choi Dae-hoon, and Yeom Hye-ran, signaling a full pivot into acting. The new role arrives just two months after that move.
The series is a fantasy rom-com about a human rookie diplomat accidentally assigned to a secret embassy that manages monsters living in Korea, and its ambassador, who is secretly a dragon. Lee Junho and Hong Hwa-yeon star as the central leads.
No official statement was available. The drama is slated for tvN.
