ATEEZ’s Yunho to showcase acting range in upcoming drama and film

Electronic Brain Chief Jeong premieres on August 8, 2025, through the short drama platform Kanta, operated by Japanese content company Ridibooks. The drama follows the story of Jung Man-sik, a long-time office manager who faces bullying both at work and at home.

He accidentally activated an AI-powered smart glasses named Alpha. With that and the support of his one loyal junior, Kim Min-hyuk, he begins to tackle personal and professional challenges, as well as unexpected crimes.

ATEEZ’s Yunho takes on the role of Kim Min-hyuk, a new employee who is the only junior who sincerely follows Manager Jeong, played by Jung Joon-ha. South Korean media outlet Newsen reported on August 5 that Min-hyuk is portrayed as a lovable and well-meaning subordinate. He offers his help but often lands himself in trouble, making him endearing despite the chaos he brings.

Later in August, Yunho will return in a completely different role in the film Back! Stage. The film is set to premiere exclusively at CGV theaters in South Korea on August 18. In Back! Stage, Yunho plays Ki-seok. This marks the idol’s first big-screen performance.

Back! Stage centers on vocalist Ki-seok, who unexpectedly receives an offer to perform from the band that once removed him. As he returns, the story unfolds around the themes of music, reconciliation, and personal growth. Tension builds as old wounds and unresolved emotions resurface. Back! Stage‘s trailer, released in July, offers a glimpse into the emotional intensity of the film.

ATEEZ’s Yunho made his acting debut in the 2021 KBS2 drama Imitation, where he played the role of Eugene, a kind and soft-spoken idol who concealed a strong inner resolve. His portrayal was well-received by international audiences, earning him praise for his nuanced performance.

With both releases just around the corner, fans are eagerly looking forward to witnessing Yunho’s dual-screen return.
