Rowoon is currently starring in the JTBC fantasy romance series, Destined With You, opposite Jo Bo-ah. The actor also made a special guest appearance in the Netflix K-drama show, A Time Called You.
Earlier this week, Rowoon announced that he would be stepping back from his role as a member of SF9 in order to focus on his acting career. The boyband’s leader, Youngbin, has since spoken out about how he’s “conflicted” over Rowoon’s departure from the group.
