Ion is a central character driving the narrative and conflict, with Kangmin set to play a key role. His portrayal of Ion, who rapidly shifts from an outsider to a mega influencer, is expected to showcase his unique charisma and fresh energy, opening the second act of his growth story.

Previously, Kangmin portrayed a dark character, Joo Sun-jae, in the web drama 'Just a Finger Flick Away', where he demonstrated his guitar skills and genius composing abilities. His performance captured the anxieties and excitement of youth, and his upcoming role as 'Hero Ion' is generating curiosity.

Kangmin is set to carry the growth potential and charm he displayed in 'Boys 2 Planet' into 'Jump Boy LIVE', making an even bigger leap. The entire series will be exclusively available on KITZ at 4 PM on the 27th.
