Jung Woo to Make Special Appearance in 'Dear X' alongside Wife Kim Yu-mi, 12 Years After 'Red Family'

Following his wife, actress Kim Yu-mi, actor Jung Woo is also set to make a special appearance in the upcoming TVING original series 'Dear X'.

Sources revealed that Jung Woo will be joining his wife, Kim Yu-mi, on the set of 'Dear X'. While Kim Yu-mi is already appearing as Hwang Ji-sun, the mother of Yoon Jun-seo (played by Kim Young-dae), Jung Woo's role is confirmed as a special guest appearance, scheduled to be revealed soon.

The specifics of Jung Woo's character and how he will be incorporated into the narrative are being kept under wraps to heighten viewer anticipation.

This marks the first time the couple has appeared in the same project since the 2013 film 'Red Family'. They first met on the set of that movie, developed a relationship, and eventually married in 2016, becoming one of the entertainment industry's admired couples.

Jung Woo recently made his directorial debut with his first feature-length film, 'Janggu'. His wife, Kim Yu-mi, played a significant role in the planning and production of 'Janggu', demonstrating their strong synergy both as a couple and as creative collaborators. Jung Woo not only starred in the film but also penned the script and directed, while Kim Yu-mi was involved from the early stages, shaping the story and production direction to enhance the overall quality. Their collaborative effort resulted in 'Janggu' being officially selected for the 'Today's Korean Cinema - Special Premiere' section at the 30th Busan International Film Festival.

'Dear X', based on a popular webtoon of the same name, tells the story of Baek Ah-jin, a woman who dons a mask to escape hell and rise to the top, and the individuals who are cruelly trampled by her actions. The series premiered on TVING on the 6th and features a cast including Kim Yoo-jung, Kim Young-dae, Kim Do-hoon, and Lee Yul-eum.

Korean netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like 'Jung Woo and Kim Yu-mi appearing in the same drama after 12 years, I'm so looking forward to it!' and 'Their synergy when working together is amazing, just like with 'Janggu''. Many are also stating, 'I have to watch 'Dear X', I hope his special appearance is significant!'
