SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan is currently in discussions to take on his first acting role since debut.
On the 22nd, PLEDIS Entertainment stated, “Seungkwan has been offered a role in the new drama ‘Sumokgeum’ (working title) and is in talks.”
‘Sumokgeum’ is a romance drama centered on a chef and a woman connected to a unique restaurant that operates only from Wednesday to Friday each week. According to reports, Seungkwan also attended a recent script reading for the project.
The production has drawn attention for bringing together director Jung Dong-yoon, known for ‘Hot Stove League’ and the ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ series, and writer Joo Hyun, who wrote ‘The World of the Married.’
Seungkwan has built a strong presence in variety programs with his wit and hosting skills, and attention is now focused on how he may expand into acting if he joins the project.
