Not satisfied by only being a singer and dancer, this charming actor then ventured his wings into the acting industry.

Meanwhile, in 2018, he appeared again in About Time and Where Stars Land.

One year later, Rowoon’s name became wildly popular because he starred in Extraordinary You (2019) alongside Kim Hye Yeon.
