From stage to screen
BTS member Jungkook will star in Zero Day, a Netflix K-drama thriller set in a dystopian Seoul where music becomes resistance. The show, directed by Lee Eung-bok (Sweet Home), casts Jungkook as a sound engineer-turned-underground activist. Production begins in December with a 2026 global release target.
Expanding artistic identity
Jungkook’s move follows solo music success and brand campaigns with Calvin Klein and Dior. Entertainment analysts say the transition mirrors a broader trend of idols branching into acting, expanding K-content’s global reach. Fans have driven over 2 million mentions in 12 hours since the casting announcement. Netflix Korea says it expects the show to anchor its 2026 slate alongside new Kingdom spin-offs.
