Taecyeon’s Role in  “Soul Mate”

Taecyeon’s agency, 51K, revealed the casting on June 28. He will play Korean fighter Hwang Johan. Under the direction of writer-director Hashizume Shunki, the drama is presently in development with an anticipated release date of the upcoming year.

The Plot 

“Soul Mate” delves into a romantic tale that spans ten years and takes place in Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo between two guys. Isomura Hayato plays the role of Ryu, who moves away from his life in Japan, and Taecyeon’s Johan, who is emotionally damaged from his boxing career, meets Ryu when Ryu saves his life in a foreign church. Their meeting sets off a course of self-discovery that reveals the intricacies of both life and love.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Taecyeon shared, “I’m extremely delighted to be appearing in ‘Soul Mate.’ Because there were so many types of characters and genres that I hadn’t tried yet, I’d been wanting to gradually broaden my spectrum [as an actor] and discover new sides of myself, and right at that time, I received the offer to star in ‘Soul Mate.’”

Taecyeon was drawn to the character of Hwang Johan for its depth and emotional complexity. He emphasized, “While reading the script, I was intrigued by Johan’s inner pain and struggles, which stayed with me long after I finished reading. Even during filming, I’m continuing the diet and boxing training that I started before filming; that’s how hard I’m working to portray Johan with sincerity, so I hope viewers will also look forward to the drama.”
