NCT DREAM to Expand Acting Career Through Dramas and Films...Jisung, Jeno, Jaemin

NCT DREAM’s Jisung, Jeno, and Jaemin are set to begin their acting careers through dramas and films. Jisung will portray a rookie police officer in ENA’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Crash 2: Road of Fury,” while Jeno and Jaemin have been cast as lead actors in the movie “Wind Up: The Movie.”

In “Crash 2: Road of Fury,” Jisung plays “Ji Dae-se,” a rookie officer at Namgang Police Station’s traffic division. This is the second season of “Crash,” which achieved the second-highest viewership rate among ENA dramas in 2024, and it marks Jisung’s first acting project as an adult. He previously accumulated acting experience as a child actor in dramas such as “Deep Rooted Tree” and films like “Broken Arrow.” The drama is scheduled to air as an ENA Monday-Tuesday series in the second half of 2026 and will also be available on KT Genie TV.

“Wind Up: The Movie,” starring Jeno and Jaemin, is a film compiled from 50 short-form episodes released on the Kitz platform. The story follows a baseball pitcher played by Jeno who is unable to throw due to guilt over accidentally injuring another player, and a transfer student played by Jaemin who appears as the pitcher’s manager, helping them grow together. Although originally released as vertical short-form episodes, the film has been expanded into a traditional horizontal format.

The film was directed by Kim Sung-ho and produced by Takeone Studio and SM Entertainment. Finecut has secured the distribution rights, and it premiered at EFM in Berlin. Kitz is a global platform that supports 11 languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese. Meanwhile, NCT DREAM, which includes Jeno and Jaemin, has recently achieved 10 consecutive million-selling albums and was nominated for Best K-Pop at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
