Ahn Ji Ho from Gyeongseong Creature (2023) portrays Jung Ho Seok, an aspiring dancer with a bright personality. Despite once being abandoned in an amusement park, he keeps his cheerful charm contained. 

In The Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938, Seo Young Joo takes on the role of Kim Nam Joon, who bears a strong sense of responsibility due to coming from an impoverished background. Despite being grown up at a young age and taking up part-time jobs to survive, he still excels in his academics.
