About Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon's character in I Am Human From Today

After the huge success of Lovely Runner, Kim Hye-yoon will be taking on a new challenge by adorning the role of gumiho named Eun-ho, who unlike traditional gumiho's, does not bewitch men or eat their liver in hopes of becoming a human.

On the contrary, she prefers living a carefree life while avoiding good deeds and men as she fears becoming a human. Gumiho or the nine-tailed fox is a creature that appears in the folktales of East Asia.

They can freely transform into beautiful women often set out to seduce men and eat their liver or heart. Extraordinary You actress, Kim Hye-yoon expressed her excitement for the role, and as per SBS, she said:

"I am thrilled to greet viewers with I Am Human From Today. This new character will showcase a fresh side of me, and I hope everyone will look forward to it."

Acclaimed for his role in All of Us Are Dead, Lomon will be playing the role of a world-class soccer player, Kang Si-yeol, a top striker for a renowned international club. Portrayed as an ultimate narcissist, Kang Si-yeol fears one thing, that is, losing muscles.

Both Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol's lives are disrupted as they enter each other's lives, bringing unexpected upheavals. Lomon shared his thoughts and said:

"I am thrilled to work with such talented actors on this exciting project. Kang Si-yeol is a character with many layers, and I am eager to show a new side of myself."
