Ahn Jae-hong will try to change his acting with the original TVING series "LTNS" and Netflix's series "Chicken Nugget" next year.

He played Kang Yang-hyeon, the new coach of the basketball team, in the movie "Rebound", which was released in April. "Rebound" is a true story based on a miracle story written for eight days by the new coach and six players of a hopeless Busan Central High School basketball team, who no one paid attention to in the 2012 national high school basketball tournament.

Ahn Jae-hong increased about 10kg to resemble coach Kang, a real person, and led the flow of the drama by perfectly expressing his eyes, actions, and tone.

He also played an active role in the Netflix series "Mask Girl", which was released in August. "Mask Girl" tells the story of Kim Mo-mi, an ordinary office worker with a complex appearance, who is caught up in an unintended incident as a BJ for Internet broadcasting with her face covered with a mask every night.

Ahn Jae-hong played Joo Oh-nam, who develops obsession and delusion after learning that his colleague Kim Mo-mi is Mask Girl. He performed special makeup for about two hours in each scene, causing an explosive reaction with his visuals that seemed to engulf the character in the webtoon of the same name.

In particular, the so-called 'confession attack' scene, which was completed with his ad-lib 'aishiteru', proved his popularity with about 1.2 million views on SNS (social network service).

He will continue to work hard next year. "LTNS" is a comedy in which a couple, who have lost their relationship due to their lives, starts threatening an affair couple to make money and faces off in the process. He will pair up with Esom as a fifth year couple. They were already invited to the on-screen section of the 28th Busan International Film Festival and received enthusiastic responses there.

Ahn Jae-hong will also unveil "Chicken Nugget" which drew attention for his second meeting with director Lee Byeong-heon-I after "Be Melodramatic". "Chicken Nugget" is a comic mystery tracking drama about a father named Seon-man who struggles to recover his daughter Min-ah who has changed due to chicken nuggets and Baek-jeong, who has a crush on her.

Ahn Jae-hong plays Go Baek-joong, a clumsy intern who has a crush on the boss's daughter, Min-ah.
