Yoon Ji-sung Confirmed for Lead Role in New BL Web Series
On August 6, Yoon Ji-sung confirmed he will lead a new Boys’ Love (BL) web series. He plays a character who develops romantic feelings for another man. The series is already in production. His agency has not released the title.
This is his first role in a same-sex romance. He is moving into acting full-time. After Wanna One disbanded in 2019, Ji-sung released solo music and took smaller acting roles. This is his biggest acting project to date.
Industry context
BL dramas in South Korea have grown fast since 2020. They attract strong viewership from domestic and international audiences. Major streaming platforms now invest in the genre.
Recent examples:
- Semantic Error passed 30 million views globally
- Our Dating Sim was licensed in over 10 countries

Yoon Ji-sung’s entry into this space signals the genre’s growing reach.
