Actor Jang Dong-yoon has been selected as the best player in the national recreational sports boxing competition. Following his receipt of the Brave Citizen Award before his debut, he has now added another impressive achievement to his filmography, drawing attention.
On the 2nd, Jang Dong-yoon participated as a player in the 4th Namhansanseong Cup national recreational sports boxing competition, hosted by the Seongnam Boxing Association. On the same day, he posted related photos on his personal social media, sharing the joy of his first competition victory with his gym members.
In particular, in the photos released, Jang Dong-yoon is seen holding a placard reading "champion" and "best player," attracting even more attention. This gave the impression that Jang Dong-yoon had won the boxing competition and been selected as the best player, evoking surprise.
However, regarding this, a representative from his agency BH Entertainment explained to OSEN, "It is true that actor Jang Dong-yoon participated in the boxing competition, but he did not actually win the 'champion' title."
A representative from Jang Dong-yoon's side stated, "The competition held on the 2nd was not a full-scale league or amateur competition but rather a recreational sports event. Our staff also attended to observe. I understand that the organizers handed out 'champion' placards to all participants who secured a victory."
However, it was true that he became the best player. BH Entertainment stated, "Fortunately, it is true that he was the only one selected as the best player," adding, "Actor Jang Dong-yoon has a personal interest in boxing and has been enjoying it as a hobby consistently. He did not learn boxing in preparation for a role."
Jang Dong-yoon is an actor who debuted in 2016 through the web drama "Game Company Female Employees." Moreover, before his debut, he received the Brave Citizen Award in 2015 for helping catch a robber who broke into a convenience store in a location in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, during his studies at Hanyang University in the Department of Economics and Finance. As a result, he became a topic of conversation for his good looks even before his debut, appearing in the news.
After he began acting in earnest, he gained recognition through dramas such as "School 2017," "Your Name, Now Forgotten," and "Mr. Sunshine." He received acclaim, particularly for his roles in "Ddan-dpo Girls," "Joseon Lovers: Nokdu Story," and "OA," and also stood out in the Netflix series "Morning Comes to the Psychiatric Ward."
Currently, Jang Dong-yoon is preparing to make a comeback in a new drama titled "The Mantis: Original Sin," co-starring with actor Ko Hyun-jung, generating anticipation.
