Ji Min-seo
Ji Min-seo (지민서) is moving through the exact kind of fast-rising actor lane that short-form Korean drama can create when the casting lands. He first surfaced through Something Is Not Right in 2025, then stepped into a much louder release cycle as Baek Na-gyeom in Painter of the Night, the live-action adaptation launched by Lezhin Snack on May 28, 2026.
That second credit is the real pressure test. Painter of the Night is not niche IP hidden inside the platform stack. It is one of Lezhin Entertainment's highest-attention 2026 adaptation plays, and Na-gyeom sits at the emotional center of the story. That puts Ji opposite Kim Kang-jae inside a release window built for immediate fandom scrutiny.
The management side is cleaner now too. Varo Entertainment signed Ji Min-seo in March 2025, giving him a clear agency base just before his first screen work and the larger breakout opportunity around Painter of the Night. The result is a page that now reads less like an introduction and more like the beginning of a real actor build.
