CIX member Hyunseok has completed a deeply resonant coming-of-age story.
Hyunseok from CIX played the male lead, Kim Hajun, in the final 8th episode of the web drama "The Probability of Meeting Romance on a Trip Season 3.5," which was released through the YouTube channel "Crank Crank" on the 31st of last month, achieving a moving ending.
"The Probability of Meeting Romance on a Trip Season 3.5" is the only travel romance web drama in Korea, depicting stories of travel and love set in Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do. In the drama, Hyunseok portrays the protagonist's inner growth as he gradually becomes stronger while experiencing a series of emotions from his first love during high school to adulthood. His realistic acting brought the coming-of-age story of youth to resonate with the audience.
In the final episode, Hajun spent time conversing naturally with his first love, Yumin (played by Son Jaewon), whom he fatefully met again after time had passed. The two sitting on a bench exuded a calm and mature atmosphere, unlike before. As they walked side by side at sunset, they reminisced about their hot and brilliant memories in Buyeo, from the moment they fell in love at first sight to their breakup.
Having decided to let go of the lingering feelings they held onto and to part ways, Hajun and Yumin accepted their breakup with quiet composure. Hajun's attempt to suppress his emotions while saying farewell was poignant, affecting the hearts of those who watched.
After returning to normal life and working at a regular company, Hajun coincidentally encountered Bora (played by Lee Seoyoung). Bora recalled the moment she fell in love at first sight with Hajun while he was working at a café during her national tour in the past. Learning that Hajun had broken up with his girlfriend stirred up her unrequited feelings, and Hajun also smiled brightly upon seeing Bora. The ending hinted at the beginning of a new relationship, leaving a wistful resonance.
Meanwhile, Hyunseok is solidifying his presence not only through CIX's activities but also as an "acting idol". He has shown his ability to embody characters through various drama projects such as "When I Fell for the High School Bully," "The World You Are In," and "The Chairman Is Grade 9." In this "The Probability of Meeting Romance on a Trip Season 3.5," he took a step up as the lead character driving the story.
CIX, of which Hyunseok is a member, has been actively promoting this year with their seventh EP album "THUNDER FEVER".
