Actor Jang Seung-jo is going viral for his ageless, standout baby-face visuals, while delivering eye-catching performances across both the small screen and the stage.

Jang currently stars in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama Brave New World, pulling off a high-stakes dual role as Choi Moon-do and An Jong.

In the modern timeline, Choi Moon-do is the president of Chail Construction and a key figure in the Chail Group, a character who reveals fierce ambition within the chaebol family. He sharply clashes with Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), driving a major axis of conflict with a weighty presence. At the same time, in the Joseon era, he transforms into the cold-blooded An Jong, who manipulates Lady Heebin Kang (played by Lim Ji-yeon) to spark a bloody purge — instantly seizing viewers’ attention.

Beyond his wide acting range, Jang’s unreal youthful looks are also at the center of the buzz. Right after broadcast, online communities and social media lit up with comments like, "How is this face 46?", "Turns out he’s married to CSJH The Grace’s Lina and is a father of two — shocking", "With visuals like that, please do a rom-com", and "He’s a huge family man in real life, which makes him even more attractive."

Meanwhile, after leaving a powerful impression through Brave New World, Jang is taking that momentum to the theater. The play The Lives of Others, featuring Jang Seung-jo, is set to run from July 1 to September 13.
