Actor Oh Hyun Joong, who is under Namoo Actors alongside Song Kang, is drawing attention for his growing presence on screen.
Oh Hyun Joong currently appears in tvN’s Our Universe, where he plays Kim Ui Joon, a baby photographer and the loyal best friend of Tae Hyung (played by Bae In Hyuk).
While the drama has remained in the 1% rating range domestically, it reportedly ranked No. 1 in viewership across 142 countries overseas, showing strong global interest despite modest numbers in Korea.
A graduate of the Korea National University of Arts School of Drama, Oh Hyun Joong has been praised for bringing warmth and charm to his role.
Behind the scenes photos highlight his natural curly hair and glasses, adding to his character’s approachable appeal. His chemistry with Woo Joo (played by Park Yoo Ho) has also received positive reactions from viewers.
In a recent episode, Ui Joon showed his thoughtful side by checking on Tae Hyung without being told anything was wrong.
He said, “You finally got the main role you wanted. You should be jumping with joy, but you look like you want a drink. What’s going on?” The line showcased his character’s sincerity and deep friendship.
Despite the drama’s 1% ratings in Korea, Oh Hyun Joong is steadily leaving a strong impression, with many viewers noting his stable acting and natural presence. Our Universe airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:40 PM.
