VERIVERY's Kangmin Shines in 'Jump Boy LIVE' Amidst Visual Star Spotlight

Kangmin, known as the visual member of the group VERIVERY, has showcased his acting prowess in a new role. With Cha Eun-woo, previously dubbed an 'iconic visual genius,' embroiled in a $200 million tax controversy, the public's attention is shifting towards a new visual star.

The premium short-form drama 'Jump Boy LIVE' by Kitz follows the coming-of-age story of a science high school outsider who dreams of becoming an influencer. The character, 'Kim Ion,' played by Kangmin, transforms from a low-profile outsider to a 'live hero' with teleportation abilities after discovering a meteorite fragment.

In 'Jump Boy LIVE,' which has released all 50 episodes on Kitz, Kangmin captivates viewers from the first scene. He portrays a curious character who climbs to a high vantage point in the city to livestream a meteor shower, showcasing his vibrant personality.

Kangmin fully immerses himself in the role of 'Ion,' transitioning from a science high school outsider to a powerful influencer overnight. His dynamic expressions and bright voice enhance the drama's engagement, highlighting his character's dramatic transformation.

The computer graphics scenes, depicting his surreal ability to teleport from Europe to the Arctic, are brought to life with Kangmin's realistic reactions and diverse expressions, enhancing the mystical and entertaining flow of the series.

Previously, Kangmin made his acting debut in the web drama 'Just a Finger Flick,' playing a dark character with exceptional guitar skills and genius composing abilities. In 'Jump Boy LIVE,' he seamlessly transitions to the bright and positive character of Ion, sparking curiosity about the full story of the series and anticipation for his future projects.

Through 50 short yet impactful episodes, Kangmin's transformation from an ordinary high school student to an extraordinary superpowered individual is heating up online discussions, promising a binge-worthy experience. 'Jump Boy LIVE,' featuring Kangmin's unique charm, is exclusively available on Kitz through a premium weekly membership or individual purchase.

In January, Kangmin solidified his position as a solo artist by successfully completing solo fan meetings in major Asian cities, including Seoul, Hong Kong, Osaka, Yokohama, and Taipei.
