THE BOYZ’s YOUNGHOON is set to showcase his acting transformation in the time-slip romance ‘Love WiFi-Palace.’
The KITZ premium series ‘Love WiFi-Palace’ is a romance drama about a webtoon artist desperate for success and a court lady who dreams of becoming a royal concubine, who become connected across time and space through a mysterious mother-of-pearl chest. It is based on the webtoon of the same name, which was serialized in 2023.

Through the mother-of-pearl chest left by his mother, Tae-pung connects with ‘So-hyang,’ a court lady from the past, and decides to become her dating coach to gain ideas for his next project. However, as he grows closer to So-hyang, he experiences unexpected emotional changes.
