Casting news came from N VIXX or Cha Hak Yeon. On November 26, 2024, the idol actor born in 1990 was reported to be starring in a BL (boys love) drama titled "Killer Next Door" (translated title can still be changed).
According to information, N was offered to play the male lead named Yoon Je in "Killer Next Door". He is a professional baseball player and will be involved with a fan. If he agrees, this will be N's acting comeback after starring in "Castaway Diva" in 2023.
However, the news of N's casting sparked debate among South Korean netizens. Some wondered why the actor decided to take the role. Typically, BL is usually played by new actors looking for recognition or work. Others welcomed it enthusiastically because they wanted to know how N would act in the BL genre.
Throughout his career as an actor, N has almost never been involved in controversy in the acting world. So, many are looking forward to N's different acting this time. " I think he did pretty well. Why BL?[sic!] ," one netizen wrote. " Handsome guy in BL? Love it. Must watch it LOL[sic!] ," another added.
" Do they pay him a lot? Can't believe he's starring in BL[sic!] ," another netizen said. " I think the way people form impressions is bad. Things like how if an actor who plays a lead role suddenly does a supporting role in BL, they won't accept another script. LOL.
This is why actors can't show various sides, because they're too afraid of the impression it will give off[sic!] ," added another. Meanwhile, "Killer Next Door" is in talks to air on TVING. It is likely that this drama will only be aired around 2025. For loyal N fans, stay tuned for the latest information here.
