OMEGA X’s member Hangyeom has made his acting debut with the new Korean drama adaptation of a popular BL webtoon, Jazz for Two. The original webtoon became #1 on the BL webtoon chart on Lezhin Comics in 2017.
Its story follows the struggles and pressures of four high school students attending an arts school. There, they experience discovering their true selves and growing up through love and music. Hangyeom plays Suh Do-yoon, a student at Wooyeon Arts School. He is a playful drum player with an optimistic personality and is hiding a longtime secret crush.
“I was a bit nervous and scared to try acting for the first time, but I was able to film with great confidence and joy, thanks to all the help from Director Song Su-lim, staff members, and my colleague actors. You’ll be able to witness a new side of me in Jazz for Two, so please send a lot of love and support.”
