Boy idol group Teen Top’s Niel is taking on his first traditional acting role.

Teen Top’s agency, Top Entertainment, stated on the 26th that “Teen Top’s Niel will be taking on his first role in the KBS-2 drama special “Do you know Taekwondo?”, playing the part of a timid, bright high school student who’s being bullied at school.”  Before he debuted as a singer, Niel also had  experience in child acting.

Still shots from the drama were released on the official website today, such as Niel in taekwondo clothing doing selected poses, or wearing a school uniform while going for a stroll.

He also related a story about how he went by the waiting room to pay his regards to his co-star Choi Minsoo, but when he arrived Choi Minsoo was in the middle of changing clothes and was taking his shirt off, so Niel’s face turned red when he met his senior for the first time.

Meanwhile, the mid-summer “Do you know Taekwondo?”, starring Choi Minsoo, Taekwondo athlete Lee Daehoon and Lim Jigyoo, will have a cinema preview showing on the 4th of next month, followed by a broadcast on the 7th at 11:45 p.m.
