The K-pop Prodigy: Hwang Min-hyun's Dramatic Pivot
Picture this: NU'EST's dynamic Hwang Min-hyun, the man who's been creating ripples in the K-pop ocean, is about to stir the drama waters. Pledis Entertainment recently made waves with their announcement. Hwang Min-hyun, their crown jewel, has snagged the role of Yoon Ga Min in 'Study Group', set to be shot later this year. The drama, as reported by Pinkvilla, is a rendition of a webtoon. Yoon Ga Min, a seemingly stellar student, has a knack for brawls rather than books. The paradox? He's at the 'worst school on earth', Yuseong Technical High School.
The Light & Shadow of Hwang Min-hyun
On the surface, Yoon Ga Min exudes innocence: flawless skin, horn-rimmed glasses, and an aura of sheer diligence. But there's a twist - he's nothing short of unpredictable, toting grades that linger at the class's abyss. It's not the first time Hwang Min-hyun is immersing himself in the drama world. With stints in tvN dramas like 'Alchemy Of Souls' and 'My Lovely Liar' post his debut in 'Live On', Hwang Min-hyun is proving himself a versatile sensation.
But there's more to the tale of Hwang Min-hyun than meets the eye. A recent interaction with BTS' SUGA on BANGTANTV unveiled some candid details. Recalling his initiation into Pledis Entertainment, Hwang reminisces, "I'm from Busan, and I was casted in the street outside the school." But what caught our attention was his anecdote about his trainee days. Believe it or not, consuming 1.2L of milk daily was his Achilles' heel. Why? To boost his height! "That was harder than training," he chuckles, reminiscing how finishing his milk quota was a prelude to his rigorous sessions.
All in all, as we eagerly await Hwang Min-hyun's portrayal of Yoon Ga Min, one thing is crystal clear: his journey from the bustling streets of Busan to the shimmering galaxy of K-pop and drama is truly awe-inspiring.
