Kim Woo-seok in Twenty Twenty
Over the past few days, web drama Twenty Twenty has been garnering lots of buzz from netizens, and part of it can be attributed to main lead Kim Woo-seok’s dashing good looks.
Kim Woo-seok, a member of UP10TION, first made his debut as an idol in 2015. He then joined Mnet’s Produce X 101 (2019), finished in 2nd place, and was part of X1. The multi-talented singer, who recently released his solo debut single Red Moon (2020), decided to try his hand at acting through the web drama Twenty Twenty.
