Ha Yoo-jun, a member of the 'FNC's new band' AxMxP, has made a splash as an actor before his debut as a singer, heralding the arrival of a 'monster rookie'.
In the SBS youth drama 'Spring of Youth' (written by Kim Min-chul, directed by Kim Sung-yong), Ha Yoo-jun took on the role of the protagonist, Sagye, the leader of K-pop's top band 'The Crown', known for his blessed genetics and ultra-positive mindset.
The first episode of 'Spring of Youth', which aired on the 6th, showcased world-class superstar Sagye getting involved in an assault case overnight, leaving his team, and starting college life at Hanju University. In the midst of this, he fatefully encounters Kim Bom (played by Park Ji-hoo) and becomes entangled through music, eventually leading to an intriguing development as they start living together as landlord and tenant.
Ha Yoo-jun, who portrayed these events, captivated audiences with his charm, seamlessly transitioning from a superstar to an ordinary college student. His bright energy, voice, and dazzling visuals matched the character perfectly, earning high praise for his ability to convey the roller-coaster emotions of his character with a level of acting skill not typically seen in newcomers. Especially noteworthy was his solid vocalization and pacing in his acting, which has set high expectations for his future work.
Having successfully made his acting debut with 'Spring of Youth', Ha Yoo-jun is expected to show even more diverse sides to the public. 'Spring of Youth', featuring Ha Yoo-jun, airs every Wednesday night at 10:40 PM on SBS.
