Bae In Hyuk has shared insights about his upcoming Channel A drama “Check in Hanyang.”
Set in the Joseon era, “Check in Hanyang” is a romance drama about youths who become “interns” at Yongcheonlu, the grandest inn in all of Joseon.
Bae In Hyuk stars as Prince Lee Eun, the king’s son who infiltrates Yongcheonlu to protect the royal family from the manipulative grip of Yongcheonlu’s owner Cheon Bang Ju (Kim Eui Sung). Hiding his true identity under the alias Lee Eun Ho, he joins Yongcheonlu as a trainee. Struggling to adapt to life outside the palace, Lee Eun creates a striking duality between his personas: the serious and responsible Prince Lee Eun and the clumsy, awkward Lee Eun Ho.
Explaining his decision to join the drama, Bae In Hyuk said, “The charm of the character, who has such diverse facets, drew me in. I felt that Lee Eun Ho is someone I could learn a lot from.” He also highlighted the drama’s appeal, sharing, “It’s not centered on just one event but is packed with various incidents, conflicts, and accidents, making it rich and entertaining.”
On his character, Bae In Hyuk described Prince Lee Eun as “resolute and steadfast, someone who is disciplined and can control himself well.” Bae In Hyuk added, “In contrast, Lee Eun Ho’s charm lies in his awkwardness and quirkiness, which stem from his unfamiliarity with speech and actions he has never done before.”
Lastly, Bae In Hyuk expressed, “I think I will remember this project as one that allowed me to broaden my acting range. Through this drama, I hope to showcase a more mature acting.”
“Check in Hanyang” will premiere on December 21 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
