Group Runeite Kael made a strong impression in 'Manager Kim'.

On the 26th and 27th, Kael appeared as Kim Nam-hoon, a promising volleyball player at Songin High School, in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim' (written by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young).

In the drama, Kim Nam-hoon showed a caring side by lending his gym uniform to Min-ji (played by Seo Su-min), the daughter of Manager Kim (played by So Ji-sub), who was being bullied at school, and approaching her without hesitation to play around.

However, Nam-hoon's kindness led to even greater bullying. Ju Hye-ri (played by Yu Ji-an), who had a crush on Nam-hoon, had lured Min-ji by using him. Later, when Manager Kim came looking for his daughter, Nam-hoon clarified that he had not called her, heightening the drama's tension and immersion.

As such, despite this being Kael's first acting challenge, he delivered a stable performance while delicately expressing the fresh, youthful sensibility unique to high school students, bringing excitement to viewers.

Leaving a strong impression despite his limited screen time, Kael has firmly etched himself in the audience's minds, raising expectations for what new sides he will show the public in the future.

Meanwhile, the SBS drama 'Manager Kim', in which Kael appears, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. Runeite, the group Kael belongs to, has confirmed a comeback in July and is currently preparing for a new album.
