Hong Jong Hyun Cast for "Women, Comics, and Shoes," Joins Kara's Han Seung Yeon

Model and actor Hong Jong Hyun has joined the cast of SBS Plus’ upcoming drama “Women, Comics, and Shoes.”

He will be taking on the role of Oh Tae Soo, and act with Kara‘s Han Seung Yeon (Shin Ji Hoo). After trying to make multiple relationships work, Oh Tae Soo has lost his hope in love. With his cold attitude, he starts dating Ji Hoo, who is inexperienced in the field of romance. Not only is he handsome, but he casually takes care of Ji Hoo, making him the perfect guy that girls will fall for. 

Ahn Kil Ho PD revealed the reason for casting Hong Jong Hyun, “I believe he will be able to show the charm of Oh Tae Soo, who comes off cold at first, but slowly opens up his heart. In addition, Hong Jong Hyun cut his hair shot for the role, showing his dedication for acting.”

The handsome model-turned-actor has recently appeared in shows “Style Log,” “Petorialist,” “Dating Agency Cyrano,” and others.

“Women, Comics, and Shoes” is currently in filming stages, and will air its first episode on February 24 through SBS Plus, online platforms, and mobile services.
