Actress Kim Min-seol is set to make her Japanese debut with the lead role in the short drama 'Who is the First Kiss?', an original series by global content company RIDI. The drama will be exclusively released in Japan on the global short drama platform 'Kanta'.

In the series, Kim Min-seol takes on the role of Yoon Arin, a young woman who finds herself living with three brothers, each with their own distinct charm, leading to a chaotic search for her first kiss. Arin is a job-seeking student supporting herself through part-time work, possessing the unique ability to read people's thoughts and feelings upon physical contact.

Kim Min-seol is expected to fully embody the spirited and lovable Arin, driving the narrative with her stable acting skills. Following her recent announcement of a dramatic transformation as 'embodiment of ambition' Jin Hong-ju in MBC's new daily drama 'The First Man', Kim Min-seol's consecutive lead casting in 'Who is the First Kiss?' has solidified her status as a rising star.

'Who is the First Kiss?' will premiere exclusively for Japanese viewers on December 12th, available on 'Kanta', RIDI's global short drama platform.

Korean netizens are expressing excitement about Kim Min-seol's Japanese venture, commenting, 'Hope Kim Min-seol's drama is a hit in Japan too!', 'A story about finding a first kiss partner sounds so thrilling!', and 'Cheering for your new project!'
