Lee Jin Hyuk

Lee Jin Hyuk (이진혁) has already done the difficult part of the idol-actor transition. He built recognition through the idol system, then kept expanding through solo releases, variety work, and drama roles instead of treating acting like a side lane. That broader skill set is exactly why he fits a hybrid project better than a standard cameo-casting choice.

In My Idol, My Debut, Lee Jin Hyuk plays Ethan, the Canada-born Boy to the Moon member positioned alongside Q's Han Jae Ha at the center of the show's male-team dynamic. He also remains active beyond the new series: his screen work includes Spirit Fingers, where he plays Kwon Hyeok, extending the steady on-camera run he has built since moving into scripted roles.

For HITKULTR readers, the interesting part is range. Lee Jin Hyuk can still function inside idol framing while carrying more conventional drama beats, which gives him unusual value in a format built to move between fandom attention, music rollout, and character storytelling.
