Kim Ji-hoon’s Charming Cameo in Dear X
TVING’s upcoming original drama Dear X is already building anticipation, and fans now have another reason to look forward to its release — the special appearance of actor Kim Ji-hoon. Known for his versatility and magnetic on-screen charisma, Kim Ji-hoon will make a guest appearance as a handsome café owner who shares a meaningful connection with the main character, Ajin. TVING recently unveiled still cuts from his scene, and the internet quickly lit up with admiration for his calm yet captivating aura.
In the newly released photos, Kim Ji-hoon radiates warmth and sincerity, effortlessly drawing attention with his subtle expressions and intense gaze. His character’s interaction with Ajin, played by Kim Yoo-jung, is expected to bring emotional depth to the story’s dark and mysterious atmosphere. Fans have praised how even in just a few stills, Kim Ji-hoon manages to convey layers of emotion — from gentle concern to quiet admiration — proving once again why he remains one of the most respected actors in the industry.
Dear X is described as a doomed melo-suspense drama that explores the twisted world of fame, lies, and ambition. Kim Yoo-jung plays Baek Ajin, a top actress whose dazzling success hides a much darker truth, while Kim Young-dae portrays a man entangled in her dangerous reality. Kim Ji-hoon’s cameo adds a refreshing contrast to the tension-filled narrative — his character symbolizes calmness and sincerity amidst the chaos.
With the drama set to premiere on November 6th at 6 PM (KST) on TVING, the revelation of Kim Ji-hoon’s cameo has heightened curiosity about how his role will influence Ajin’s story. Whether his presence becomes a comforting anchor or a painful reminder of what she’s lost, fans can’t wait to see the emotional impact he brings.
Kim Ji-hoon’s participation also reflects TVING’s strong commitment to assembling a star-studded lineup. Following his acclaimed performances in Love to Hate You and Bitch X Rich, his return — even in a brief appearance — is expected to leave a lasting impression. As excitement builds toward the premiere, Dear X continues to dominate online buzz, especially with its blend of dark storytelling and stunning visual chemistry among the cast.
