In Disney+’s “The Worst of Evil” with Ji Chang-wook,Wi Ha-joon transforms into a 1990s DJ turned gang-leader. His character emerged among Hallyu Dorama’s top K-drama picks last year as one of our favorite villains.
“Even if he’s the villain, you wanted to root for Wi Ha-joon’s mob boss character. You will want his character to redeem himself until the end,” our co-founder Hannah Petrache wrote.
Meanwhile, in Netflix’s “Gyeongseong Creature” with Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee, Wi Ha-joon portrays a 1940s Korean independence activist. He shows the struggles of a young elite raised in privilege but fully dedicated to a noble yet dangerous cause. His acting reflects the strength and conviction man with a mission as well as the desperation of a cornered one.
Wi Ha-joon’s other recent K-dramas include “Little Women” with Kim Go-eun and “Bad and Crazy” with Lee Dong-wook. He also appeared in “Something in the Rain,” “Romance is a Bonus Book,” and “18 Again.”
