SF9's Dawon, Lee Eun Sang & Min Soo Hwa To Star In Romantic Web Drama "Part-Time Melo"

Lee Eun Sang, SF9’s Dawon, and Min Soo Hwa will be testing their chemistry in a new romantic campus web series!

Lee Eun Sang, SF9’s Dawon, and rookie actress Min Soo Hwa are confirmed to headline a university-themed romantic web drama titled Part-Time Melo (LT).

Part-Time Melo is a romantic web series that takes place in a restaurant where people with the worst chemistry have gathered. These people include a secretive woman who wants to flirt, a spy guy who must stop flirting, a smart woman whose decisions are based on data, and a sentimental guy who toys with other people’s feelings.

Produced as a KT Seezn original, the series will be released on Seezn in the second half of 2021. Part-Time Melo will serve as the sequel of the Single & Ready to Mingle, which was all part of the “Melo Series”.

The series was highly popular among people in their 10s and 20s, also known as the “Sampo Generation” — the generation of young South Koreans who do not believe in courtship, marriage, or having kids.

Taking on the male lead role, Lee Eun Sang suits up to his character as Kang Ha Woon, a liberal arts university student. Branded as the adorable youngest restaurant part-timer, he will steal lots of women’s hearts with his charming personality.

Lee Eun Sang debuted as a member of the K-pop group X1 after securing the 11th place or so-called “X” spot. However, following the team’s disbandment due to Mnet’s vote-rigging scandal, Lee Eun Sang went on to become a solo artist and released his first mini-album Beautiful Scar in August 2020.

Aside from his music ventures, he has also showcased his acting skills by making a cameo in the web drama Let Me Off the Earth. Furthermore, Lee Eun Sang is preparing for his highly-awaited debut as a member of Brand New Music’s next boy group, which is scheduled to be launched in the first half of 2022.

Meanwhile, SF9’s Dawon will portray the role of Tak Seon Ho, the good-looking guy with a not-so-good personality. Even though he is sensitive and has a good memory, he uses his smart brain to tease others.

Dawon debuted in 2016 as the lead vocalist and dancer of the K-pop boy group SF9. He made his acting debut in the web drama Click Your Heart along with his co-SF9 members.

Then, he made a cameo in jTBC drama Was It Love?. Just recently, he portrayed the role of Park Bo Young’s brother in the tvN drama Doom at Your Service.

SF9 has also wrapped up the promotions for their ninth mini-album TURN OVER with the title track “Teardrop”.

Lastly, rookie actress Min Soo Hwa will play the role of Choi Ji Seo, a determined and tough girl whose love and life decisions were solely based on data. Because of the pain, she experienced from her past love, she is known to be an ironwoman who believes that love has an expiration date.

The actress made her debut in the music video of singer Shin Yong Jae’s So What, If Flowers Are Pretty, which was released in May.

Through her authentic and delicate acting, Min Soo Hwa has captured the attention of viewers by emotionally expressing the excitement of love and the pain of parting.
