Kim Hyun-jin cast in 'Neighbor, Francesca,' spin-off of 2005 sitcom 'Hello, Francesca'

Kim Hyun-jin plays Jang Woo-ju in 옆자리, 프란체스카 (Neighbor, Francesca), a spin-off expanding the universe of the 2005 sitcom 안녕, 프란체스카 (Hello, Francesca). He's a second-year class president at Deuil High School, youngest in a doctor family. On the surface, he has it all figured out. Underneath, he's anxious about always ranking second academically and has no idea what he actually wants.

Vampire Pina Young (Han Soo-ah) transfers from Romania and meets Jang Woo-ju as she navigates the human world. That meeting changes everything for his character. Aer Entertainment said: "We are pleased to introduce Kim Hyun-jin through this spin-off drama of a beloved work."

옆자리, 프란체스카 releases within 2026.
