ENA’s “Namib” has shared a new sneak peek at Ryeoun’s character as an idol trainee!
“Namib” depicts the meeting of former entertainment agency CEO Kang Soo Hyun (Go Hyun Jung) and longtime trainee Yoo Jin Woo (Ryeoun), who gets kicked out of his agency, as they each head toward their own goals.
Ryeoun will be playing Pandora Entertainment’s longtime idol trainee Yoo Jin Woo. With his exceptional musical talent, Yoo Jin Woo was sent off to an agency from a young age by his parents. While trying to survive amidst a turbulent reality, Yoo Jin Woo’s heart begins to waver like ocean waves.
After being dropped from the debut group every time, causing his dream of becoming a star to fade, Yoo Jin Woo gets kicked out of his agency, which was his only source of shelter. Viewers are curious to find out if Yoo Jin Woo, who has no place to go and no longer has any confidence in himself, will find a way to survive the harsh reality.
The newly released stills capture the two sides of Yoo Jin Woo. In one still, he is showcasing his dazzling music talent while playing the guitar, while another still captures him looking as if his whole world has collapsed. The happy expression from when he is singing is gone, leaving a bitter gaze.
Ryeoun remarked, “Before my debut, I was also in the position of fiercely making my way one step at a time, so I got the thought that I could portray Yoo Jin Woo’s inner feelings very well.”
The actor continued, “Yoo Jin Woo’s first impression is that of a child who could be swept up and broken by a wave at any moment, but while filming, I realized that he is a high school student who has dreams just like any other high school student and wants to spend his everyday life happily. I acted while placing focus on how a kid who was once satisfied with just living begins to change.”
Having previously impressed with his guitar skills in “Twinkling Watermelon,” Ryeoun remarked, “I’m working hard to make good results through repeated practice and training.”
“Namib” will premiere on December 23 at 10 p.m. KST.
