It looks like fans of Pentagon's Hongseok will be able to see the singer as an actor now that he has bid a temporary farewell after enlisting in the military. Hongseok became the third Pentagon member to enlist in the military on May 3 as he joined as an active on-duty soldier. Back in December 2021, it was announced that Hongseok would be starring in the K-drama ‘Aqua Man’ aka 'Aquaman,' a Kakao TV original web drama.

On May 12, Kakao Entertainment confirmed that the show will feature Pentagon’s Hongseok in the lead role alongside actors Jung Woo-jin, Lee So-hee, and Shin So-hyun. The drama will be 12 episodes long and will be the first-ever show starring Hongseok in the lead role after he appeared on the 2021 K-dramas ‘Blue Birthday’ and ‘Shadow Beauty’.

The plot of Kakao TV’s ‘Aquaman’

‘Aquaman’ will be released in the months to come and will be shorter than a regular 16-episode drama.

Hongseok’s character, Ji Seong-joon, is someone who looks cold on the outside but has a warm personality. He is also attractive and sociable, which is why he is always in love. Over the last few years, Pentagon’s Hongseok has built up his filmography step by step all thanks to his stable acting skills. Kakao TV is expected to reveal more details in the coming days, keeping fans of Pentagon’s Hongseok on their toes in anticipation.
