Story of the 4th Love Revolution
The story centers on Kang Min Hak, an influencer and campus heartthrob who seems to have it all but prefers a more laid-back life. Yo Han will take on the role of Kang Min Hak, a modeling student whose fame skyrockets after a reality dating show. The second lead is Goo Yeon San, an academic superstar who struggles with romance. The male lead gets entangled with engineering students who are his complete opposites in every way and experiences an unexpectedly chaotic college life.
WEi’s comeback
The group is gearing up for their comeback with a new mini-album called The Feelings. However, there’s a change in the lineup.
