Wanna One's Park Woo-jin cast in short-form drama 'Naman Moreunae Sarang Iyagi' 7 months after acting debut

Park Woo-jin has landed the male lead in 나만 모르는 내 사랑 이야기 (The Love Story Only I Don't Know), a new short-form drama directed by Han Sang-il.

He plays Seo Ki-taek, the boyfriend who vanishes from female lead Ye-rin's memory after an accident. Described as timid and clumsy, the character watches silently from the sidelines as she forgets him entirely, his sincerity and pain slowly surfacing.

This marks his second acting project. His first came roughly 7 months ago: 처음 (Cheoeum), a short-form drama produced by the Busan Tourism Organization in November of last year.

Off-screen, Park Woo-jin signed with Para Music—a K-pop specialist label under BrandNewMusic—on June 16 after his previous contract expired. (A 9-year span separates this from his 2017 Wanna One debut via Produce 101 Season 2, where he placed 6th.) He was also active in AB6IX and reunited with Wanna One members in April through Mnet's WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base.

Director Han Sang-il participates in ENA's Directors Arena, a director survival program centered on short-form dramas. Jang Do-yeon, Cha Tae-hyun, and Jang Geun-seok host. Guests have included Lee Joo-seung, Lee Yu-jin, Choi Gwi-hwa, and A-Teen director Han Soo-ji. Han works with B-grade sensibility and rhythmic cut editing built for short-form content.

A preview of 나만 모르는 내 사랑 이야기 airs during Directors Arena at 11 PM on June 19.
