Single's Inferno Season 5 star Youn Hyunjae to begin his acting career

When Single's Inferno Season 5 came out on Netflix, Youn Hyunjae was the very first contestant introduced to fans. His entry was so strong that even Hong Ji-kyung mentioned that there are really good-looking men in the country. Other panelists like Dex and Lee Da-hee were also really impressed by Youn.

And now, he has signed with a new agency to start an acting career. The agency Young Hyunjae signed with is the same one that represents Dear X star, Kim Young-dae. The agency has expressed confidence in his potential and said that his appeal goes beyond temporary popularity.

The agency shared:

"We noticed Youn Hyunjae’s fresh aura and his unlimited potential as an actor. Going beyond just buzz, he is an artist with his own unique color, so we plan to give him our full support so that he can establish a foothold as an actor through our systematic management."

The statement continues:

"With his friendly and familiar public image as a foundation, Youn Hyunjae has a face that can pull off a wide variety of genres. Through various types of content and projects, we will gradually reveal new sides of [Youn Hyunjae]."

The agency shared that the Single's Inferno Season 5 star will begin with proper training. They will focus on enhancing Youn's skills instead of starting to look for projects right after the agreement.

And since this is just the beginning of a new chapter in Youn Hyunjae's career, no specific drama has been announced for him. However, the agency will do its best to set his debut in the acting world.
