Actor Ahn Bo-hyun captivated viewers by exuding a down-to-earth charm on YouTube web variety shows.
Recently Ahn Bo-hyun appeared as a guest on the popular channel Yoo Yeonseok's weekend Yeonseok play and TEO's Salon Drip to promote the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever. Contrary to the intense image he has shown in his works, he displayed an innocent and affectionate "dog-like charm," offering a surprising contrast.
First, on Yoo Yeonseok's weekend Yeonseok play, Ahn Bo-hyun continued a relaxed conversation with Yoo Yeonseok, with whom he formed a bond through the SBS variety show Whenever Possible, serving effectively as a "healing cheat key." Contrary to his urbane appearance, he revealed a surprising inability to drink espresso well and said he once dreamed of becoming a professional soldier, showing a humble and warm humanity.
He also provoked laughter with an unexpected "sweet boy" side who was shy when praised, and the thrilling size difference and handsome-handsome visual pairing with co-star Lee Joo-been stimulated viewers' romantic imaginations. In particular, his attentive reactions as he listened to Yoo Yeonseok and Lee Joo-been offered a glimpse of Ahn Bo-hyun's naturally affectionate personality.
Meanwhile, on Salon Drip, which was released on the 6th, he showed a sense of variety and an unpretentious, honest side that caused a "fan crush." He proudly displayed exceptional chemistry through manners that attentively cared for Lee Joo-been, raising viewers' excitement, and added to the viewing pleasure by offering shy but polite jokes in response to Jang Doyoun's lively banter, creating a "seriously funny" talk synergy.
Above all, what drew attention was Ahn Bo-hyun's sincere, "down-to-earth" demeanor. Warmth arose when a touching story was revealed that he not only has deep loyalty with staff he has worked with for nearly 10 years but also reportedly memorizes every staff member's name for each project. He also mentioned a special connection he made while doing part-time work during his unknown days and humbly yet warmly said, "now there seems to be a position where I can repay it."
After the videos were released, subscribers sent enthusiastic reactions such as "Ahn Bo-hyun really feels like a genuinely good person," "Amazing chemistry with Lee Joo-been, must watch the drama live," and "Physically he's a tough guy but his way of speaking is so gentle." The warm charm Ahn Bo-hyun showed through these YouTube web variety shows naturally leads to heightened anticipation for his character Seon Jae-gyu in the drama Spring Fever.
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever, starring Ahn Bo-hyun, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.<
