Group DRIPPIN's Cha Jun-ho transforms into "the boy of first love from those days."
The drama "First Love," featuring DRIPPIN's Cha Jun-ho, will premiere on April 18 through U+ Mobile TV and U+ TV.
"First Love" is an omnibus music drama that tells different stories of first love among eighteen boys and girls, consisting of a total of six episodes. Cha Jun-ho appears in the second episode, where the prickly model student helps exchange student Hikari with her bucket list.
Cha Jun-ho, who is making his acting debut through "First Love," plays the role of Japanese exchange student Hikari. He is expected to enhance the immersion of the drama with his delicate portrayal of her pure and caring charm while showcasing chemistry filled with excitement alongside actress Hwang Ji-a, who plays the role of Hana.
In particular, as the center of the popular group DRIPPIN, which is also gaining immense popularity in Japan, he has reportedly showcased his fluent Japanese skills, further raising expectations.
The drama "First Love," which is generating more anticipation as Cha Jun-ho's first acting challenge, has been receiving hot interest from domestic fans even before its broadcast. It also held an exclusive showcase at the Tokyo Film Market (TIFFCOM) last year, increasing the anticipation of global fans.
The original soundtrack (OST) is also noteworthy. Adora, the producer who created hit songs such as "Spring Day" and "Euphoria" and worked on the drama "True Beauty," participated in the OST work, maximizing the thrilling emotions of first love.
The production team noted, "'First Love' is a work that sensibly captures the excitement, pain, and growth associated with first love beyond mere romance," adding, "Each episode will feature varying openings, captivating direction, and an OST that enhances these elements, offering viewers a special emotional experience."
The drama "First Love" will be available to domestic and international viewers starting April 18 through U+ Mobile TV and U+ TV, with the second episode featuring Cha Jun-ho airing on April 25.
