Will Bae Hyun-seong shine with refreshing potential?
On September 9, JTBC’s new Wednesday drama Family By Choice (written by Hong Si-young and directed by Kim Seung-ho) gave a preview of Bae Hyun-seong’s character development.
Family By Choice explores the romance that unfolds when three youths, who have shared a familial bond for 10 years only to be separated and encounter each other as strangers for another 10 years, reunite.
In the drama, Kang Hae-joon (played by Bae Hyun-seong) is a character who, for reasons unknown, has been living as a biological son in the home of Yoon Jung-jae (played by Choi Won-young), who was his mother’s blind date years ago. Despite his tumultuous childhood, Kang Hae-joon maintains a cheerful disposition and is candid with his emotions. His endearing personality and knack for nagging have made him a beloved presence in his family.
He holds a special place in his heart for Yoon Jung-jae and his younger brother, Yoon Joo-won (played by Jung Chae-yeon), who embraced him as family despite their lack of blood relation. Determined to honor his father figure Yoon Jung-jae and be a supportive older brother to Yoon Joo-won, Kang Hae-joon is committed to succeeding in basketball. Whether he will achieve his dream remains to be seen.
Kang Hae-joon’s deep-seated feelings for his family are reflected in his character self-introduction, crafted by Bae Hyun-seong. The hashtags related to “family” and his motto, “My family’s happiness is my happiness,” reveal Kang Hae-joon’s core values.
When discussing his family role, he identifies as Yoon Joo-won’s big brother, emphasizing his pursuit of a meaningful and beautiful relationship. Despite his reputation as a crybaby, Kang Hae-joon’s dedication to being a great older brother is evident in his introduction.
The accompanying photo highlights Kang Hae-joon’s refreshing charm. His usual puppy-like innocence contrasts with his focused determination when playing basketball, sparking curiosity about his evolving character.
Bae Hyun-seong’s portrayal of Kang Hae-joon promises to bring depth to the drama, capturing his character’s growth from a fresh-faced youth to a resilient individual with a strong sense of purpose.
Family By Choice will premiere on October 9.
