The "Best Youth Actor" and "Best Child Actor" winner Nam Da Reum makes his return to K-dramas! We cover why he stepped away from the limelight, what dramas you should watch from him, and what to expect in the future!
For those of you who are not familiar with Nam Da Reum, he is a South Korean actor, who was born on June 13, 2022, and having a career as a child actor he was fortunate to play leading children's characters, which fed into his success as an adult actor. His big break as an adult actor or at least his best-known role is for the lead role in the 2019 drama Beautiful World.
Nam Da Reum has also starred in many well-known dramas, such as Boys Over Flowers (2009), Pinocchio (2014), Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016), Rain or Shine (2017), The King in Love (2017), While You Were Sleeping (2017), Come and Hug Me (2018), Radio Romance (2018), Start-Up (2020), and Doom at Your Service (2021)
Check out this throwback to his very first lead role!
Having been discharged for completing his mandatory military service in 2023, the actor has set his sights on returning to the limelight.
This news came about when the actor released new profile photos, with a statement that he is looking to resume his acting career in the second half of 2024. I know the importance of updating profile photos and building a reputable portfolio and I am sure that the actor with his experience will do great, however like the K-pop music industry, the K-drama industry is also oversaturated these days.
In the newly released profile photos, Nam Da Reum exudes a unique aura, shedding the youthful boyish image he had previously shown and displaying a more mature charm, which I am sure will see him cast in many roles within the acting industry domestically and potentially abroad as well, as I am aware Netflix and other international companies are set to invest heavily in the Korean entertainment industry. I wish him the best of luck in the future.
