Produce X 101 Jellyfish trainee, Kim Min Kyu, is making his acting debut as a lead role together with Weki Meki's Do Yeon in the upcoming web drama ‘Pop Out Boy!’.
The web drama is based on a famous ongoing webtoon called 'The Girl And The Boy Coming Out Of Manga'. It tells a story about a fictional male character from a romance comic who jumps out of the 2-dimensional pages into real life.
Kim Do Yeon will play the role of a straightforward, chic high school student named Han Sun Nyeo. While Kim Min Kyu will play the extremely sentimental and romantic comic male lead, Chun Nam Wook.
The two leads cross paths when Chun Nam Wook pops out of the pages of his comic, landing in Han Sun Nyeo's house after Han Sun Nyeo rips a copy of his manhwa. He encounters Han Sun Nyeo who happens to share the same face and name as the female protagonist of his manhwa.
A teaser for the web drama has just been released on June 21. The teaser hints at a love triangle between Chun Nam Wook and Noh Ye Joon as they both fight for Han Sun Nyeo’s affections.
While this will be Kim Min Kyu’s first acting gig, Kim Do Yeon has already acted previously in other web dramas and also had a supporting role in the drama ‘Short’ (2018).
The main casts of the upcoming web drama include Kim Min Kyu, Kim Do Yeon, Choi Hyun Wook, Han Ji Hyo, and Lim Bo Ra.
‘Pop Out Boy!’ will premiere as a web drama on June 25 at 7 p.m. KST on Playlist’s YouTube channel. The web drama will air every Thursday and Sunday. The drama will also air on MBC Dramanet starting on July 17 at 10 p.m. KST.
