TVING has officially set November 6th for the premiere of its new original drama Dear X, dropping a striking launch poster that teases Kim Yoo Jung’s dramatic transformation.
Dear X follows Baek A Jin (Kim Yoo Jung), a woman who puts on a mask to climb from hell to the very top—and the “X”s she has brutally trampled along the way. Behind the flawless face of Korea’s top actress lies a ruthless core. The series charts her downfall while capturing the desperate love of Yoon Jun Seo (Kim Young Dae), who chooses hell itself in order to protect her.
Heat is building around the first-ever pairing of legendary hitmaker Lee Eung Bok—whose credits include Sweet Home, Mr. Sunshine, Goblin, and Descendants of the Sun—with TVING. Director Park So Hyun joins as co-director. The script comes from writer Choi Ja Won, winner of KBS’s 2018 one-act drama script contest, in collaboration with original webtoonist Ban Ji Woon.
Based on the globally popular webtoon of the same name, the series assembles breakout young stars Kim Yoo Jung, Kim Young Dae, Kim Do Hoon, and Lee Yul Eum. Dear X has also been officially invited to the “On Screen” section of the 30th Busan International Film Festival (October 17th–26th), cementing its status as a major second-half-of-2025 contender.
The newly released launch poster turns heads with its stark imagery: Baek A Jin’s chilling gaze peering through a torn sheet of white paper. It suggests a woman who hides her true nature and desires while seeing straight through the souls of others—leaving audiences to wonder about the identities of her “X”s.
A previously unveiled “Baek A Jin” teaser drew explosive responses for Kim Yoo Jung’s daring transformation, with people noting how she “changed everything from her gaze to her voice.” Playing a star who has climbed to a perilous peak by stepping over childhood scars and mastering the art of piercing and manipulating hearts, Kim Yoo Jung is poised to deliver a magnetic, dangerous turn as the irresistibly lethal Baek A Jin.
Dear X premieres exclusively on TVING on November 6th.
