Actress Kim Yoo-jung has signaled a new acting transformation, showcasing her signature bright demeanor.

On the 6th, Kim Yoo-jung posted on her social media account with the caption, "Dear X! Tonight at 6 PM." The drama, based on a webtoon of the same name, portrays the ambition of a sociopath, Baek Ah-jin, who uses her striking appearance and sharp intellect to manipulate others and climb to the top. Kim Yoo-jung takes on the lead role of Baek Ah-jin.

Kim Yoo-jung, known for her calm, elegant, yet subtly mysterious aura, has received praise for being a perfect fit for the role of Baek Ah-jin. To embody the character, Kim Yoo-jung sported bangs and a composed expression with a subdued smile, hinting at the character's complex nature. Yet, on set, she was seen mingling freely with fellow actors, displaying her characteristic sociability.

Surrounding Baek Ah-jin are characters played by Kim Young-dae and Kim Do-hoon, who unconditionally support her. However, whether they are characters who deeply understand Baek Ah-jin or blindly follow her is poised to create compelling conflict later in the series, sparking anticipation among viewers.

Meanwhile, 'Dear X,' starring Kim Yoo-jung, is set to premiere on November 6th, with four episodes released initially and subsequent episodes rolling out weekly.

Netizens reacted with excitement, commenting, 'Kim Yoo-jung's acting is going to be amazing in this role!', 'I loved the original webtoon and can't wait for the drama,' and 'Baek Ah-jin? I'm eager to see her new side!'
