GOT7’s Jinyoung gets into character for new drama “Magic School”

After showing off his acting skills through past works such as “The Legend of the Blue Sea,” “My Love Eun Dong,” and “When A Man Loves,” GOT7’s Jinyoung is back as an actor in the JTBC web drama “Magic School.”

Jinyoung will play the role of Lee Na Ra, an exemplary college student with a nonexistent dating record who obeys his dad’s wishes to become a government employee. He focuses all of his plans and dreams into this one goal, until his childhood female friend Woo Ri (Park Gyu Young) opens his eyes to dating. Through this, he finds “Magic School” and the rest is his story.

Jinyoung said, “Na Ra wants to do a cool event for Woo Ri. So that’s why he enters the magic school, and the life of a nerd is forever changed.” He continued, “I was able to sympathize with the growth and change of youth through the drama’s theme of magic. I think viewers will have fun watching the different situations that lead each character to the magic school.”

After crediting the “good staff and wonderful actors” who worked hard to create “Magic School,” Jinyoung added, “I hope many of you will watch it.”

​“Magic School” is about four characters—single-since-birth Lee Na Ra (Jinyoung), genius magician Jay (Yoon Park), American adoptee and resident Joon (2PM’s Nichkhun), youngest doctorate in physics Lee Sung (Kang Yoon Jae)—who couldn’t be anymore different from one another, come to the magic school with their own unique stories and the unexpected events that happen.

“Magic School” will air its first episode on September 11 at 7 a.m. KST on Naver TV.
