Hwang In Yeop Showcases Warm Charms As A Law Student With Great Empathy In Upcoming Drama "Why Her?"

SBS’s new drama “Why Her?” shared a new glimpse of Hwang In Yeop in character!

“Why Her?” is a mystery romance drama starring Seo Hyun Jin as Oh Soo Jae, a coldhearted lawyer who has grown empty after only chasing success, and Hwang In Yeop as law student Gong Chan who will do anything to protect her. The drama also stars Heo Joon Ho, Bae In Hyuk, Kim Chang Wan, Lee Kyung Young, Bae Hae Sun, and more.

Hwang In Yeop’s character Gong Chan has great empathy that allows him to look into other people’s hearts. However, he also has a painful past that caused his fate to become twisted. Gong Chan begins to experience a change after fatefully meeting Oh Soo Jae who has been pushed out of her position to become an affiliated professor for the law school due to an unexpected incident.

The newly released stills show Hwang In Yeop completely immersed in his role as Gong Chan. The photos display Gong Chan’s sincerity and warmth, and his deep expression conveys his seriousness as a law student who has momentarily forgotten about his unspeakable past. He exudes both warm and lonely vibes, and fans are looking forward to digging deeper into his backstory.

On why he selected “Why Her?” as his next project, Hwang In Yeop explained, “When I first came across the drama, the title was fresh and intense, so I couldn’t forget it. After reading the script, the story of Oh Soo Jae and Gong Chan seemed so sad yet beautiful. In this drama, I think I’ll be able to show you a more mature character and another side of me.”

He described his character saying, “Gong Chan becomes hurt after an incident in the past. Nevertheless, he doesn’t have any rebellious or negative thoughts, and he’s a confident and cool character who always tries to live the world in a positive and right way.”

Lastly, he said, “I made a lot of effort to understand the character Gong Chan. I tried to experience his feelings by reading the script over and over again.”

“Why Her?” premieres on June 3 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki!
