Actor Jo Jun-young has confirmed his appearance in 'Class 2 Lee Hee-soo'.
SM Entertainment announced on the 25th, "Actor Jo Jun-young will appear in 'Class 2 Lee Hee-soo'." The global platform Heavenly web drama 'Class 2 Lee Hee-soo', which will be released on the 28th at 6 PM, is a youth growth romance that tells the story of a boy named Hee-soo (played by Ahn Ji-ho) who has ordinary yet unspoken worries, along with those around him, encompassing first love, friendship, and the pain of heartbreak that everyone experiences. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name.
In this work, Jo Jun-young will play the role of 'Chan-young', the object of Hee-soo's unrequited love. Chan-young is perfect in every aspect, including appearance, personality, academics, and athletic ability, but has lived with a feeling of always losing in comparison to his older brother. Jo Jun-young is expected to portray the character's struggles and growth in a more three-dimensional and attractive way by adding his own color to the role.
In particular, Jo Jun-young has immersed himself in the character by consistently practicing with a professional instructor, mastering both the basics and practical techniques to perfectly embody a character who dreams of becoming a tennis player, raising expectations.
Above all, Jo Jun-young has showcased stable acting skills in various works such as the dramas 'IDOL (Idol: The Coup)', 'Live On', 'All the Things We Loved', 'The Receiver', and the movie 'Happy New Year', gradually expanding his own territory. Therefore, there is keen interest in the new transformation he will present through 'Class 2 Lee Hee-soo'.
Moreover, Jo Jun-young has hinted at diverse activities beyond 'Class 2 Lee Hee-soo'. He is set to show a different side as the wealthy third-generation student Cha Ji-won in the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Bunny and Oppas', which will premiere on April 4, and will meet viewers as the free-spirited younger man Ban Yi-dam in the new KBS Joy Monday-Tuesday drama 'Dear. M', which will air on April 14.
