EXO’s Sehun finally made his long awaited appearance on SBS’ Now We Are Breaking Up, much to the joy of his fans, who started trending #SEHUNinNWABU on Twitter almost immediately.
Now We Are Breaking Up is SBS’s brand new romantic drama, also starring Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Young.
The drama, set in the fashion industry, has the Encounter actor as Ha Young Eun, a fashion designer who has no time, or faith in love. Acting opposite her, Jang Ki Young stars as Yoon Jae Guk, a photographer who is all set to change her mind.
Joining this cast is the EXO rapper Sehun, in what is his first acting role in a K-drama.
EXO maknae Sehun's sends fans into a frenzy with his appearance in Now We Are Breaking Up
The EXO rapper made his first drama major appearance in the fourth episode of the ongoing show. He plays the role of Hwang Chi Hyung, who happens to be Song Hye Kyo's fashion company's youngest son.
The idol's character acts as an interesting contrast to his sister Hwang Cho Sook, played by Choi Hee Seo. Hwang Chi Hyung proves himself to be more clever and more perceptive than his older sister.
His straightforward and bold nature, though, often puts him at odds with those around him, especially with Song Hye Kyo’s character, adding much-needed spice to the drama.
In the latest episode, the idol's character finally joins Ha Young Eun's design team as her newest employee, as per his father's desires.
