As SBS's Friday-Saturday drama Brave New World continues its sky-high ratings streak, actor Heo Nam-jun, who plays Cha Segye, is making waves for his versatile styling that’s earning buzz to rival the show itself.
In formal settings, Heo sports a crisp suit with a clean, slicked-back hairstyle that amps up his commanding, masculine charisma. At home, he switches to comfy casual looks and a soft, fringe-down style that highlights his warm, boyfriend-material charm—instantly stealing viewers’ hearts.
Fans on online communities and social media are raving, saying, "Slicked-back is the only answer," "Both are stunning in totally different ways," and "With the fringe down, he turns into an adorable big dog." The hype goes beyond the storyline, with his visuals becoming a hot talking point on their own.
Riding this explosive interest, the latest episode saw Segye (Heo Nam-jun) officially spark a budding romance, sending tingles through living rooms nationwide. In the final moments, he recognizes memories of a past life from 300 years ago through a dream—an "all-time ending" that cranked up curiosity about what comes next.
Delivering can’t-miss twists every week, Brave New World airs Fridays and Saturdays at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS and is also available on Netflix.
