An official from the entertainment industry revealed on April 20 that GOT7 Park Jin Young will play Yoo Babi of tvN's 'Yumi's Cells'. However, Park Jin Young's agency, BH Entertainment, responded that 'Yumi's Cells' is only "a work under review".
'Yumi's Cells' is a drama adaption of a popular webtoon of the same name that was serialized on Naver, and was penned by Song Jae Jung, who also wrote 'Memories of the Alhambra'.
'Yumi's Cells' expresses the story of Yumi, an ordinary office worker in her 30s, from the perspective of the cells in her head, and the webtoon has received favorable reviews for its fresh production and setting. In particular, the story of the three men Yumi meets will convey sympathy. Among them, Park Jin Young is aimed for the role of Yumi's second boyfriend, Yoo Babi.
'Yumi's Cells' will be created as a pleasant and realistic drama, utilizing the charm of the original webtoon. Actress Kim Go Eun has confirmed her appearance as the main character, office worker Yumi.
Park Jin Young made his debut as an actor in 2012 with KBS' 'Dream High Season 2' and appeared in MBC 'When a Man Falls in Love' (2013), and in JTBC 'This Is My Love' (2015) and SBS 'Legend of the Blue Sea' (2016), showing impressive performances. He further proved that he is the next-generation acting idol as he played the main character Minsik in the movie 'A Stray Goat'. In tvN's 'He is Psychometric' (2019), he proved his potential as an actor by playing the main character Lee An, who has psychometric skills (superpower to read memories and the past through contact).
In addition, Park Jin Young played the younger version of Yoo Ji Tae in 'When My Love Blooms', which recently ended. He is currently working with Ji Sung through tvN's drama 'Devil Judge'. Expectations are high for his performance as an actor.
