Some fans also expressed admiration, saying, “He already had the star quality even back then,” “It looks like a school uniform photoshoot.”
Meanwhile, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Wonderful New World,’ starring Heo Nam-jun, features an explosive romantic comedy about Sin Se-ri (played by Lim Ji-yeon), an unnamed actress possessed by the spirit of the infamous Joseon femme fatale, and Cha Se-gye (played by Heo Nam-jun), a notorious chaebol called the monster of capitalism.
