Wi Ha-jun succeeds Kim Soo-hyun and Byun Woo-seok

Following Kim Soo-hyun and Byun Woo-seok, Wi Ha-jun has emerged as the undisputed lover who continues the lineage of tvN's pure-hearted men.

tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Graduation' is showing a deepening melodrama with each episode.

Starting with Lee Jun-ho's (played by Wi Ha-jun) first love confession and kiss, Seo Hye-jin (played by Jeong Ryeo-won) begins to deviate from her path by crossing the line of a priestly relationship. The thrilling changes between the two people made people look forward to the adult romance that will unfold in the future. Above all, 'teacher' Seo Hye-jin was her first love since high school, and she approached her, revealing with her whole body that every moment was filled with Seo Hye-jin.

Accordingly, attention is being paid to whether Kim Soo-hyun, the 'Queen of Tears', will continue the lineage of the 'pure man syndrome' caused by Byun Woo-seok, who 'jumped up on Seon-jae's back.' Kim Soo-hyun, who played the role of 'Queen of Tears' Baek Hyeon-woo, gained great popularity by portraying the heartbreaking and desperate feelings of love he has for Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won). Baek Hyun-woo's pure love, which overcomes the crisis surrounding Hong Hae-in together and realizes the feelings of love, impresses viewers and continues to enjoy undiminished popularity even after the end of the series.

Byeon Woo-seok, who played Ryu Seon-jae in 'Pick Seon-jae and Jump', is receiving a lot of love for showing his pure love for Im Sol (played by Kim Hye-yoon). The charm of Ryu Seon-jae, the 'Solchinja (the one who is crazy about Im Sol)' who said, "It's okay if I die saving you," created an explosive synergy with Byun Woo-seok's fresh acting, creating a syndrome-like topic, and viewers are still 'sick of Seon-jae.'

‘Graduation’ Lee Jun-ho, who has kept his feelings for his first love Seo Hye-jin for 14 years, is also a lover who cannot be defeated by anyone. Lee Jun-ho even gave up his corporate employee ID card and returned to Seo Hye-jin's side, bringing about a turning point in their relationship from a priest to a colleague to a man in an instant, shaking the hearts of viewers, including Seo Hye-jin. At times, Geumjjok was a disciple, but in an instant, his eyes deepened and made Seo Hye-jin's heart pound with a cheeky look, a sincerity that confessed her love after a long wait, and a 'push and pull quote' filled with countless meanings that made you wonder about the 'between the lines' of emotions. Korean language instructor Lee Jun-ho's straight-forward flirting is raising the excitement to the fullest.

Thanks to the true value of Ha-Jun Wi, the ‘optimized melodramatic actor,’ the topicality also increased. The topicality of the TV drama category announced by FUNdex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation, rose for two consecutive weeks and settled in 3rd place in the rankings for the 4th week of May. In addition, the UV (unique visitors) of the 6th TV live viewing of ‘Graduation’ increased by about 80% compared to the 4th episode.

Episode 7 of ‘Graduation’ will be aired on June 1 at 9:20 PM.
