Kim Tae-hyang's consecutive casting in 'Youth's Tale' and 'Divorce'

Actor Kim Tae-hyang, who has become a 'trustworthy treasure' through various works, is shining his presence by being cast in new works such as tvN's 'Youth's Tale' and JTBC's 'Sacred, Divorce'.

His agency, Name Entertainment, said, “Actor Kim Tae-hyang has been cast as military officer ‘Yoon Seung-beom’ in tvN’s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Worth of Youth’, which will be aired for the first time on the 6th.” In 'Worth of Youth', which will be her first historical drama, Kim Tae-hyang once again transforms into Yoon Seung-beom, a loyal confidant of Han Seong-on (played by Yoon Jong-seok), the son of Left Councilor Han Jung-eon (played by Jo Seong-ha), and a loyal butler of a prestigious family who does not spare advice. We are planning to show a new look.

Kim Tae-hyang also played the role of Seo Jeong-guk, the only son of Daenam Electronics and the husband of Jinyoung-ju (played by Noh Susanna), in the JTBC drama 'Sacred, Divorced', which is attracting attention with actor Seung-woo Cho selected as the lead role.

Kim Tae-hyang solidified his position as an actor preferred by drama producers by playing the role of Congressman Cha Do-cheol in JTBC's 'The World of the Married' and reporter Park Jin-gyu in tvN's 'Flower of Evil'. The acting skills he honed on the theater stage, which is his main job, are being showcased to the fullest in movies and dramas. In SBS's 'Racquet Boys', he appeared as a reliable and wise father to Bang Yoon-dam (played by Son Sang-yeon), and in 'Uncle', he played the character of a plastic surgeon who leaves his wife and has a secret affair with another woman, showing a completely different face in each work.

Meanwhile, Kim Tae-hyang recently returned to the theater stage and appeared in 'The Masked Lodge Murder Case'. Kim Tae-hyang, who played the role of the comical thief 'Dagu', is an actor with a reputation as a 'master of comic acting' in the theater world, and received rave reviews from senior actor Lee Won-jong, who appeared with him. In this way, Kim Tae-hyang is expanding his scope of activity with various works, regardless of broadcast or stage, and is further raising expectations for his activities in 2023.

Kim Tae-hyang said through his agency Name Entertainment, “I have been sweating a lot through horseback riding and practicing martial arts to prepare for my first historical drama challenge, ‘Worth of Youth’. “There are some spectacular action scenes that I did without a stand-in, so please look forward to it,” he said. “In my next work, ‘Sacred, Divorced,’ I will provide satisfaction to viewers by creating a character that is differentiated from other works in which I appear.”

tvN's 'Youth Month', which will be another transformation for actor Kim Tae-hyang, will be broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 pm starting from the 6th. Additionally, JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Sacred, Divorce' is scheduled to air for the first time on March 4 at 10:30 p.m.
