The 27-year-old actor and singer has already shown his acting potential in various local dramas, including “Athena: Goddess of War” and “Paradise Ranch.”

It is the first time he has returned to the small screen since he last starred in Mnet’s drama “Mimi,” which ended last March, playing an introverted writer who suffers from partial memory loss.

“Scholar Who Walks the Night,” which kicks off in July, features a fantasy story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire during the Joseon Dynasty.
