In 2018 he landed roles in ‘A Poem a Day’, ‘Mr. Sunshine’ and ‘Just Dance’.
He was also in ‘The Tale of Nokdu’ where he was simply incredible and he acted alongside Krystal in ‘Search’.
2023 was a major break out year for him as he performed in ‘Oasis’ for which he got several awards, ‘Daily Dose of Sunshine’, ‘My Man is Cupid’ and ‘Like Flowers in Sand’.
It’s his role in ‘Daily Dose of Sunshine’ that really caught our eyes, especially the incredible water scene.
He’s also performed in a couple of movies like ‘Devils’ (2023), ‘Project Wolf Hunting’ (2022) and ‘Beautiful Days’ (2018) which opened the Busan International Film Festival.
Overall Jang Dong-yoon is an underrated gem who has been in a lot of major productions and we’re glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.
