Actor Kim Junghyun changed the atmosphere of the drama the moment he first appeared.
In episode 1 of tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren' (directed by Kim Cheol-gyu/ creator Jo Hyunkyung/ written by Lee Young/ produced by Studio Dragon, Cape EnA), which aired on the 2nd, Kim Junghyun drew attention by portraying the mysterious new tycoon 'Baek Jun-beom.'
That day Jun-beom made his first appearance by showing up at the Royal Auction hall. He looked at chief auctioneer Han Seol-ah (played by Park Minyoung) with a meaningful gaze, creating an unexplained tension between the two and arousing viewers' curiosity. As the auction began in earnest, Jun-beom maintained an unshaken expression and steady breathing amid the fierce back-and-forth of bids. Above all, his inability to take his eyes off Seol-ah created a strange atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Jun-beom approached the relaxed Seol-ah and naturally closed the distance. To Seol-ah, who recognized him, he showed an intriguing attitude, asking, "Do you remember me? We haven't met before." In particular, when Seol-ah replied that she does not forget someone once she has seen them, Jun-beom, with an unreadable expression, asked back, "You don't forget... never?", then soon offered his hand, saying, "I'm Baek Jun-beom," raising expectations about their future relationship. In addition, when deputy auctioneer Kim Yoon-ji (played by Lee Eliya) appeared and interrupted Seol-ah's conversation, he crumpled Yoon-ji's business card and turned cold, saying, "You can't tell where you belong and where you don't," surprising viewers.
In this way, Kim Junghyun fully melted into the mysterious 'Baek Jun-beom' and left a strong impression. Not only did he add weight to the character with restrained acting, but he also dominated the screen with a single look, displaying his presence. Attention is focused on what kind of performance Kim Junghyun, who delivered a strong impact from his first appearance, will show in 'Siren' going forward.
Meanwhile, tvN's 'Siren,' starring Kim Junghyun, Park Minyoung and Wi Ha-jun, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
