Member Hyun-seok of the group CIX stirred viewers' excitement and immersion with a broad emotional spectrum.

CIX Hyun-seok appeared in episode 1 of the web drama "the probability of encountering romance in travel season 3.5" (hereinafter "Romance Season 3.5"), which was first released on the YouTube channel "Crack Crack" on the 12th, portraying the male lead Kim Ha-jun.

In the summer of 2016, Kim Ha-jun, who was a high school student, and Lee Yoo-min (played by Son Jae-won) met by chance in Seoul while on a trip, feeling the thrill of first love. Kim Ha-jun showed his youthful side by helping Lee Yoo-min, who had injured her knee, to the bus stop and treating her wound.

Later, after visiting Buyeo, where Lee Yoo-min's school was located, Kim Ha-jun prepared for a photo shoot for a contest. Just as Kim Ha-jun was focusing the camera, Lee Yoo-min appeared, and recognizing her at a glance, Kim Ha-jun was momentarily surprised but then smiled faintly, inducing excitement.

By 2018, now college students, Kim Ha-jun and Lee Yoo-min faced a crisis while quarreling over trivial matters during a trip to Buyeo. As they could no longer meet as frequently as before, the conflicting emotions between the two evoked sympathy from the viewers.

In 2021, Kim Ha-jun and Lee Yoo-min had already broken up. However, both were invited to a friend's engagement ceremony in Buyeo, signaling a connection that would intertwine them again. In the epilogue, Kim Ha-jun, having learned about the engagement from a call with his brother, muttered, "How am I supposed to go to Buyeo again?" sparking curiosity for the next episode.

Hyun-seok expressed a wide emotional spectrum that oscillated between the first meeting of falling in love and a bittersweet farewell in episode 1 of "Romance Season 3.5." From a high school student in a youthful uniform to a mature adult living a busy reality, Hyun-seok's delicate inner acting captured the viewers' immersion. There is high anticipation for how Hyun-seok will unravel the continually intertwined romance narrative.

The only domestic travel romance web drama in which Hyun-seok stars, "Romance Season 3.5," is released every Thursday at 8 p.m. through the YouTube channel "Crack Crack."

Meanwhile, CIX, of which Hyun-seok is a member, has been active this year with the release of their seventh EP album "THUNDER FEVER."
