About

Chae Jong-hyeop is a skyrocketing global icon of the Hallyu wave, celebrated for his "sun-kissed, healing smile" and a transformative acting range that balances gentle sincerity with a resilient, protective strength. After making a striking impact as the dedicated baseball player in the 2019–2020 hit Stove League, he shot to instant stardom as the beloved "Potato Boy" Yang Do-hyeok in the 2021–2022 romantic drama Nevertheless. His ability to embody "unwavering, pure-hearted devotion and a warm, evocative charm" earned him a massive worldwide following as the ultimate "boy-next-door." Known for his "impeccably bright screen presence and soulful emotional transparency," Chae reached a historic career peak with the 2023–2024 sensation Castaway Diva. His portrayal of the steadfast and wounded Kang Bo-geol earned him universal acclaim, showcasing his matured, magnetic leadership. He further solidified his status as a "Global Phenomenon" in the 2024–2025 Japanese breakout hit Eye Love You, where he became the first Korean actor to lead a prime-time Japanese drama series. His recent 2024–2025 success in the nostalgic romance Serendipity's Embrace (alongside Kim So-hyun) proved his status as a premier "Romance King." With his 2025–2026 return in the high-stakes fantasy drama The Treasure Island and the much-anticipated film The Last Summer, Chae Jong-hyeop remains a premier global superstar whose artistry lies in his "shattering sincerity and an increasingly atmospheric, heroic grace."
