Hong Seung-beom, on the verge of disbandment from the moment of his appearance

'Holy Idol' Hong Seung-beom transformed into an idol leader just before disbandment.



In the first episode of tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Sacred Idol' (directed by Park So-yeon/written by Lee Cheon-geum/planned by Studio Dragon/produced by Pita Pat Studio High Ground), which first aired on the 15th , the leader of 'Wild Animal', an idol who has not been popular for 5 years, appears in the first episode. She first appeared in the role of 'Choi Jeong-seo'.



From the first episode, Hong Seung-beom attracted viewers' immersion and drew them into the play through the character of 'Choi Jeong-seo', who struggles for the team that is on the verge of disbandment. Not knowing that Lambrary (Kim Min-gyu) had possessed Yeon-woo's body, he said to Yeon-woo, who looked different from usual, "We are on the comeback stage after a year and a half," and "How much have We practiced? So let's do well, please." He explained earnestly, while shouting to Lambrary, who was standing on stage, to come to his senses, and as a leader, he tried to lead him somehow.



In addition, in the scene where Choi Jeong-seo explodes with anger by explaining how important this stage was to 'Wild Animal' to Lambrary, who ruined the stage in the end, her sincerity and earnestness toward 'Wild Animal' were clearly conveyed, making viewers feel sad.



Hong Seung-beom, who appeared with warm visuals such as flashy stage costumes and heavy makeup due to the nature of his job as an 'idol', steadily took center stage as a leader even in absurd situations and stably played the role of 'Choi Jeong-seo', who took charge of cleaning up the situation on behalf of the manager who ran away. Hong Seung-beom's performance like this made viewers root for 'Wild Animal' to overcome the risk of disbandment and succeed. Accordingly, expectations are high for what Hong Seung-beom will show in 'Sacred Idol' in the future.



Meanwhile, tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Holy Idol', starring Hong Seung-beom, Kim Min-gyu, Go Bo-gyeol, Lee Jang-woo, Ye Ji-won, and Tak Jae-hoon, is about the sacred and absurd adaptation to the entertainment industry of Lambrary, a high priest from another world who became an unknown idol in Korea overnight. As a drama, episode 2 will be aired today (Thursday the 16th) at 10:30 PM.
