  1. 1. Is Jihoon likely to be in Reply?



Recommended Posts

Imo it feels kinda likely (if it comes true this thread would be evidence of my clairvoyance). Since I'm a huge fan of Reply I keep anticipating a new one and keep noting down possible ppl to cast in my mind. This proved to be hard bc I can't think of people who can surpass the legendary Eunji and Hyeri, nor anyone who I can accept as the male leads either...tbh I did have the thought before that Sejeong is very Reply-ish, but she's in School 2017 now so that's ruled out.

 

But then I suddenly thought of Jihoon, and if you think about it, he's a pretty strong candidate...

 

The thing is, he's not just popular and trendy, but also a seriously good child actor. He cries on cue and is pretty natural even as a kid. I mean, there are lots of great idols, but this is one we know can act and we don't need to guess.

 

 

Reply would never fail to at least cast one idol, that we know. Plus, Reply loves fresh faces. They wouldn't cast a Lee Min Ho or a Park Shin Hye, for instance, who are kinda veteran-level-ish in terms of experience and fame. Think Reply 1988, you have Park Bo Gum, and you have Hyeri, and etc.

 

Also, Reply requires good bare faces. We all know Jihoon's bare face too well and he isn't less attractive without makeup at all (arguably he looks even better w/o anything). Hyeri filmed with an almost-bare-face. Jihoon would pass that test. 

 

He's not that tall, but he's a bit taller than Lee Hyun Woo (who we know is quite successful in both movies and dramas). Plus since he's young he wouldn't be cut from doing younger roles. Reply would suit him the best because Reply is all about teens who are 18 and under. I mean, if he would try acting after Wanna One, he probably wouldn't land on some young businessman chaebol role whatever. He'd most likely be casted in a teen drama, or as some psychological boy in a movie that kind of thing. I can see him doing the type of movies/dramas D.O did before. He is not actually a 'pretty boy' type, he's more like someone who's very versatile and shows so many different sides that he becomes a true enigma.

Coming to a weird part. Dispute this because idk how to explain it properly lol:

 

Reply needs actors and actresses with the, er, 'zest'. Idk how to explain 'zest'. It's only required for the Reply type dramas. Um, as in unique-ish visuals and aura and stuff? Like lead-worthy? Reply-ish? For example, some people who I think have it would be: Yoojung, Ryu Jung yeol, Sejeong, Hyeri, Eunji, Kim So Hyun, Minah etc. (will ppl get what I am saying). Those who wouldn't have this 'zest' would be, I don't know, those who you think suits playing ex-girlfriends and bullies and cold, sugary roles. Think about the female lead in reply series. I.O.I's Yoojung could be a such an entertaining lead, like Hyeri, but I don't know if she has acting skills to back it up yet, unlike Jihoon.

 

Anyway, Jihoon's boy-next-door looks would really suit the Reply type in my opinion, plus he might do a unique character, like how Taek was such an interesting character, which was so refreshing to watch. We'd probably have another Reply an year later (it'd be two years then, since reply 1988), which is when Wanna One would disband. Might be perfect timing like Sejeong with School 2017.

....Ok anyway, but I just find him very suitable, likely or not. If I was PD i would cast. What do u think of Jihoon's future acting-dol career?

I thought Sejeong was very Reply-ish as well!

 

Anyways, I've never imagined Jihoon in a Reply series tbh but I'm a big fan of the series so him in it would be rlytearpls.png

He is good at acting but imagining him in a 1990-ish setting seems a bit weird for me. I think his visuals are too strong because imo the actors in Reply has always been kinda not-so-good-looking apart from park bo gum.

 

I also see him going the D.O. route! He can nail those kinds of roles tbh. Anticipating actor Park Jihoon chuplz.png chuplz.png chuplz.png

He has big chance for acting roles since his parent company is MBK. Chaeyeon doing really good , so jihoon probably will be promoted non-stop by MBK. But i remember that mnet not allowing individual promotion until contract is over so probably his acting career would restart in 2019.

Oh they already cut their ties with mbk, the most known artist under it is KJK. The company will get a lot of money from Wanna one promotion though, it's up to them how to manage those money and use it for jihoon future.

He will get at least several hundred thousand dollars lol.
