'The Fourth Love Revolution' actor Kim Yo-han praised his partner Hwang Bo-reum-byeol.
On the morning of the 11th, a production presentation for the Wavve original 'The Fourth Love Revolution' (written by Song Hyun-ju · Kim Hong-gi and other members of the creative group 'Songpyeon', directed by Yoon Sung-ho · Han In-mi) was held at the Stanford Hotel Korea in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by the lead actors Kim Yo-han and Hwang Bo-reum-byeol and directors Yoon Sung-ho and Han In-mi, who discussed the work under the moderation of broadcaster Park Seul-gi.
'The Fourth Love Revolution' tells the story of Joo Yeon-san, an engineering student who has been single since birth, and Kang Min-hak (played by Kim Yo-han), an influencer with a million followers, who become classmates after their department undergoes an unfounded merger, and what ensues. The two, who operated on completely different systems, and their friends' error-filled team projects, and the chaotic romance are expected to awaken viewers' fluttering cells.
The youthful cast's performances are also drawing anticipation. Kim Yo-han transforms again into model department student Kang Min-hak, a 'hot' celebrity who gained a million followers after appearing on a dating program, suggesting another acting evolution. Kang Min-hak, who makes everyone turn their heads even when he just passes by, possesses a gravity-defying charm that attracts those around him. Contrary to his intricately handsome appearance, his mind lacks detail and he has the simple, unexpected charm of a reversal. Kim Yo-han is expected to perfectly embody the 'nation's male friend' Kang Min-hak character.
Hwang Bo-reum-byeol heightened immersion by fully becoming Joo Yeon-san, the top computer engineering student and former 'children's quiz king.' A true engineering student to the bone, Joo Yeon-san processes problem solving quickly but has the fatal flaw that a single error prevents execution; he has built a wall against romance and wrestles with computers 24 hours a day, the nerdiest of nerds. Unintentionally entangled with Kang Min-hak and gradually fixing the romance errors within himself, Joo Yeon-san's transformation is expected to spark excitement, and Hwang Bo-reum-byeol raised expectations by portraying Joo Yeon-san's multifaceted changes vividly.
Kim Yo-han and Hwang Bo-reum-byeol previously appeared together in the 2021 drama 'School 2021.' About their reunion, Hwang Bo-reum-byeol said, "It was so long ago. I saw him in my late teens and now in my early 20s, so it felt very mature and I was very glad," smiling. She added, "I was very curious who would play the character Kang Min-hak, and when I heard it was Yo-han, I thought it was a perfect fit. He's such a funny friend and I expected that by playing that role he could show his charm, so I was very excited."
He especially said, "There were many things I was grateful for while filming. I was always struggling with lines and exhausted, but the staff and the directors brought a refreshing effect," adding, "It was so funny during filming that it was hard. I'm supposed to say things and look disdainful, but I laughed the most, so it was hard."
The two are actually both born in 1999. Kim Yo-han said with a laugh, "Actually, in 'School 2021' there weren't many scenes where I was close with Byeol. As far as I remember, Byeol felt chic, maybe because of the role. At that time I was scared and couldn't talk much. But when I heard Byeol was cast in 'The Love Revolution,' I was already happy. Even during preparation our chemistry was better than expected. I was thankful she laughed at my lines on set. The set felt like my 'perkoul' vibe. Just talking would set things off. I went to the set thinking a lot about how to be funny. Compared to 'School 2021,' Byeol is really bright, laughs a lot, and isn't afraid to look silly when acting, so our chemistry matched and we filmed perfectly. We became very close. Back then she was a bit scary, but now we're very close."
'The Fourth Love Revolution' will be first released on Wavve at 11 a.m. Thursday the 13th. In addition, it will be released simultaneously on major OTT platforms in 96 overseas countries including Japan, Hong Kong, China and Russia.
