Actor Jeon Jin-seo, known as Kim Hee-ae's son in 'The World of the Married,' has started adult acting.
Jeon Jin-seo plays the role of high school student Moon Chan-young, who becomes a victim of school violence and a suspect in an attempted murder case, in episodes 9 and 10 of tvN's weekend drama 'Seocho-dong' (written by Lee Seung-hyun/directed by Park Seung-woo/planned by CJ ENM Studios/produced by Chorokbaem Media), delivering a powerful impression with nuanced inner performance.
In the drama, Moon Chan-young, while enduring habitual bullying, resists an attacker wielding a knife and inflicts injury, which leads him to request legal representation from the law firm Hyungmin due to charges of attempted murder.
When Chan-young first met Jo Chang-won (played by Kang Yoo-seok), he appeared to coldly accept the incident by saying, "It is true that I did something bad with bad intentions," but inside, he was tangled with a mix of injustice, anger, and sadness. However, ahead of the trial, Chan-young ultimately broke down as complicated emotions that had built up came rushing out. The tears he shed with his head bowed stemmed from fear and anguish, and the reality that his choice to protect himself had instead led him to become a suspect weighed heavily on the hearts of those watching.
Thus, Jo Chang-won, with the last hope, brought Chan-young in front of the judge and prosecutor to directly begin the interrogation. Jeon Jin-seo expressed the depth of emotion through his gaze and breath, driving the tension of the scene, and his appeal alongside Jo Chang-won heightened the immersion in the drama.
Jeon Jin-seo, who had showcased his presence as a child actor in notable works such as 'The Heirs,' 'The World of the Married,' and 'Mr. Sunshine,' took his first step as an adult actor through 'Seocho-dong.' Despite his grown appearance and mature aura, Jeon Jin-seo's unique deep gaze and emotional expressiveness still shone, and his dense performance left expectations for his future acting transformations.
Even in his brief appearance, Jeon Jin-seo left a strong lingering impression with his emotive performance. Attention is focused on his next steps as an actor.
