Actor Huh Nam-joon is continuing his trend in 2026 due to his steady expansion of his presence.
Last year, Heo Nam-joon made a wide range of moves since the beginning of the year, making a clear impression on the public. After winning the Rookie of the Year award at the 16th Korea Drama Awards, he showed his face to the CRT with various characters such as the drama "100 Memories" and "The Story of Manager Kim who works at a large company in Seoul." As such, Heo Nam-joon spent a meaningful year proving his solid acting skills and buzz.
First of all, Heo Nam-joon impressed by playing the main character Han Jae-pil in the drama "One Hundred Memories," which was loved as a new-tro melodrama. From the pure excitement of his first love to the story of his growth that he overcame his ordeal, he delicately unraveled the life of the character, drawing favorable reviews. His acting skills, which he has built up through his big filmography such as "The Phone You Called Now," "Your Honor" and "Sweet Home" season 3, were displayed in his first major film.
Then, in the drama "The Story of Manager Kim, who works at a large company in Seoul," he made a special appearance as Na Dae-ryong, a delicate and realistic psychiatrist, leaving a warm warmth on the small screen. In particular, the pleasant tiki-taka I shared with Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong) induces happy laughter from viewers and shows more than a special appearance.
Heo Nam-joon, who showed such performances regardless of genre, predicted his return to the small screen with SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "The Wonderful New World" (directed by Han Tae-seop, scripted by Kang Hyun-joo, and production studio S, Gil Pictures), which is scheduled to air in May. He will lead the center of the play as Cha Se-gye, a "vicious chaebol" with the utmost charisma. In addition, it is expected to increase the level of tension and immersion through "Hate Romance" with Kang Dan-sim and Lim Ji-yeon as Shin Seo-ri.
Heo Nam-joon, who has been running tirelessly throughout the year 2025, is expected to further solidify his position as a "general actor" by showing all-round activities this year. Attention is focused on the footsteps he will continue to complete the character with his own color in each work.
Meanwhile, "A Wonderful New World" will premiere in May.
