Former Idol Hyunseok to Play K-Pop Leader in New Drama 'My Favorite Employee'

Actor Hyunseok is poised to make a significant impact on the acting scene as he ramps up his career following a new partnership with Management RUN. The agency announced his signing, signaling a new phase of focused activity for the actor.

Hyunseok is set to appear in the upcoming tvN drama titled 'My Favorite Employee' (romanized as 'Choi Ae Ui Sa Won'). The series is described as an office growth romance centered around Nam Dareum, a new employee who joins the company with the goal of meeting their idol, only to become an 'idol employee' themselves. The narrative promises a blend of workplace dynamics and romantic intrigue.

In 'My Favorite Employee,' Hyunseok will portray the character of Hyuk, the leader of the fictional K-pop group 'D.N.X.' This role is particularly resonant given Hyunseok's own background as a former idol. His experience is expected to lend authenticity and depth to his portrayal of Hyuk, capturing the responsibilities and affections associated with leading a popular music group. His presence in the drama is anticipated to leverage his existing charisma and understanding of the idol industry.
