Ji Min-seo

Ji Min-seo (지민서) is a South Korean actor whose breakout window widened fast once he was cast as Baek Na-gyeom in the 2026 live-action adaptation of Painter of the Night. The role puts him at the emotional center of one of Lezhin Snack's biggest IP bets and ties his rise directly to a fandom already built by Lezhin Comics.

Before that casting, Ji had already started to build useful screen traction through Something Is Not Right. What changes now is scale. Playing Na-gyeom opposite Kim Kang-jae moves him from early-career promise into a globally visible adaptation cycle where every performance beat will be closely watched.

He is represented by Varo Entertainment, and the next stretch of projects will decide whether this moment becomes a single-title jump or the start of a durable acting run.
