In this upcoming series, Jo Jun-young takes on the role of 'Cha Ji-won', a character who has it all—wealth, looks, talent, and personality. The drama follows Bunny's quest for love after a disastrous first relationship, entangling her with several charming men. Jo's portrayal promises a youthful romance tailored for the MZ generation.
As 'Cha Ji-won', Jo Jun-young becomes intertwined with Bunny (played by Roh Jeong-eui) as a senior and junior after returning to school. His unexpected involvement in Bunny's love life, coupled with his gentle demeanor, positions him as a top contender for her heart.

Jo Jun-young expressed, "'Bunny and the Oppas' is a work that encompasses empathy, fun, and excitement. I have worked hard to portray a 'Ji-won' with a unique charm different from the original. Watching 'Ji-won' become a reliable presence for 'Bunny' will be particularly enjoyable. I hope for your anticipation."
