Ahn Bo-hyun Discusses His Transformation for 'Spring Fever'

Actor Ahn Bo-hyun has opened up about the efforts he put into his role.

On the 29th, the press conference for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Spring Fever' was held online, attended by actors Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Joo-been, and director Park Won-guk.

tvN's new drama 'Spring Fever' (directed by Park Won-guk, written by Kim Ah-jung, planned by CJ ENM STUDIOS, produced by Bon Factory) is a hot pink romance that will melt the frozen hearts of teacher Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joo-been) and the passionate man Seon Jae-kyu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun).

Ahn Bo-hyun takes on the role of Seon Jae-kyu, a notorious figure known for his eccentric actions that stir up the village. Previously, his tattoo-covered appearance became a hot topic. Regarding this, Ahn Bo-hyun stated, "Most of the works I've done so far were based on webtoons. I try to match the synchronicity."

He continued, "I worked out diligently and even tried hairstyles that are only possible in comics. I also adjusted my diet to wear outfits that might make people wonder, 'Can a male lead wear that?'"

Ahn Bo-hyun also revealed that he gained weight for the role, saying, "I bulked up with muscle. It wasn't easy to gain 4-5kg in a short time due to the lack of physical time."

tvN's 'Spring Fever' is set to premiere on January 5, 2026, at 8:50 PM.
