In the third episode of MBC’s fantasy sitcom The Thousandth Man (written by Kim Kyun Tae; directed by Choi Hwa Jin, Kang Chul Woo) which will air on August 31, Jinyoung plays the character Min Gyu of his early days when he gets a broken heart from his first love.

Currently, B1A4 is gaining popularity with the song “Hey Girl,” a song for the sound track of the series, and Jinyoung’s challenge for actin also attracts eyes.

The character Min Gyu is the man whom Mi Jin (played by Kang Ye Won) falls in love with in the 80s, and he is an ordinary man with a beautiful dream. However, they break up because of small misunderstanding, and when they meet again after 27 years, Min Gyu (played by Jo Duk Hyun) happens to live away from his families, lonely in his late forties, without any dream.

In order to portray the male character in his 20s who is also a college student of the 80s, Jinyoung gives some change in his hair and wears big horn-rimmed glasses. Although it is first time for him to act, he has gained positive feedbacks for his perfect acting in portraying a shy young man.

The August 31 episode is to remind viewers of old memories with great pieces of music back in the 1980 and appeal to their emotions.

The episode with Jinyoung will be on August 31 at 9:55 p.m.
