One of the most anticipated upcoming dramas of 2021 is tvN's My Roommate Is A Gumiho that begins broadcasting on May 26. Adapted from a webtoon of the same name, it tells the story of a 999-year-old gumiho and a youngster who accidentally swallows the gumiho's bead that could make him human. In a twist of fate, the bead can exist inside a human for no more than 1 year. It will then break inside that person, killing them in the process and also, the gumiho will lose the chance to become human.

On April 30, character posters of the main cast of the series were released. Every character's personality was highlighted using hashtags in the posters that were titled using numbers.

The poster of Shin Woo Yeo, played by Jang Ki Yong, was titled 999 years (old). Along with a picture of Jang Ki Yong and his ever present smile are tags to introduce the character's personality. Shin Woo Yeo is supposed to be the World's Sweetest Gumiho. He is someone who has witnessed history. He is strict, solemn, and serious. His kindness towards Lee Dam is swoon worthy.
