Bae Hyun-sung Shines in 'Mr. CEO Project,' Following in Han Suk-kyu's Footsteps

Actor Bae Hyun-sung is capturing viewers' attention with his impressive acting in the new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Mr. CEO Project.' Playing the role of Jo Pil-ip, who transforms from an elite judge to a fried chicken shop employee overnight, Bae Hyun-sung has been receiving rave reviews for his diverse charms, oscillating between seriousness and playfulness right from his first appearance.

In the premiere episode aired on the 15th, Bae Hyun-sung showcased the demeanor of a diligent new judge, receiving praise from Judge Kim Sang-geun (played by Kim Sang-ho). However, after being assigned to the fried chicken shop, he added a touch of humor to the drama by foreshadowing his bickering chemistry with Mr. Shin (played by Han Suk-kyu). His steadfast adherence to principles even in crisis situations and his excellent crisis management skills have heightened expectations for his future performances.

Immediately after the broadcast, viewers expressed strong interest with comments such as, "Jo Pil-ip's character is so charming," and "I'm already looking forward to the chemistry between actor Bae Hyun-sung and actor Han Suk-kyu." Following his breakout role in 'Dr. Romantic,' Bae Hyun-sung is emerging as a rising star.

'Mr. CEO Project' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on tvN.

Bae Hyun-sung began his acting career in the 2018 web drama 'Everytime.' He has since expanded his acting range by portraying unique characters in various works like 'Extraordinary You' and 'Business Proposal.' His memorable performance in 'Dr. Romantic 2' and '3' particularly served to solidify his name recognition among the public.
