Lee Seok Hoon's new single "I Became an Adult" (literal translation) arrived with a music video that's striking a warm, nostalgic chord ― and KPLUS signee Kim Hyun-june Kim Hyun-june steps into the spotlight as its lead.
In the clip, Kim Hyun-june elevates the story with nuanced, quietly affecting acting and an inviting on-screen presence. His easy chemistry with the female lead taps into fluttery first-love feelings, drawing viewers in, while his bright energy and signature smile deepen the song's sentimental mood.
Kim Hyun-june burst onto the scene in 2023, taking top honors at the Supermodel Contest as the youngest winner at just 16. Even with less than a year since debut, his 187 cm frame, striking features and laid-back charm have made him one of fashion's fastest-rising new faces. Balancing school and work, he's been expanding his Gen Z footprint through ad campaigns and editorial shoots.
Most recently, he took the stage as a presenter at the 2024 Trot Music Awards, signaling potential that extends beyond the runway. Next up, he's eyeing acting and television, aiming to cement himself as a next-gen "model-tainer."
A KPLUS representative said, "Kim Hyun-june is a next-gen rising star with the competitive edge to shine on the global stage. Starting with this music video, we'll actively support him across fashion shows, TV and advertising at home and abroad."
