Kim Seok-woo, or better known as Rowoon, is a member of K-pop boy band Sensational Feeling 9 or SF9 in short. SF9 is FNC's first boy dance group. They released their first album, "Feeling Sensation" last October 5, 2016, and "Fanfare" was their lead track. 

SF9 is consists of nine boys born from 1993 to 2000. SF9 not only does singing and dancing, but some of the members already ventured in acting, and you must have seen them in dramas and films, namely Chani, Zuho and Rowoon. It's not official yet, but Rowoon is considering to play the lead in the webtoon-based series, "Sunbae, Don't Put on That Lipstick," according to FNC Entertainment.

Rowoon began his acting career with a minor supporting role in KBS2's "School 2017." He then gradually landed some bigger roles. He was the brother of the female lead in tvN's "About Time" (2018). He even got nominated for New Actor Award when he starred in SBS's "Where Stars Land." MBC's school fantasy drama, "Extraordinary You," was his first major role, where he was partnered with Kim Hye Yoon.

"Extraordinary You" is about a high-school girl Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon), who discovers that she lives in a fantasy world of comics. Everyone else, including her, is just a character in the comic book "Secret." She is engaged to his long-time crush, portrayed by Lee Jae Wook, also a student in her school. However, the boy doesn't like her back, and worse, he despises her.

Dan-oh has a heart condition and is expected to die soon. She will not be able to finish her teenage years. She also discovers that her character is just an extra character, making the situation more awkward.

Unsatisfied with the character given to her, Dan Oh decided to make her own destiny. She changed the writer's plot and found a way to experience true love. Then, a handsome student, played by Rowoon, appears in her life. Saving her multiple times made Dan Oh noticed him, and eventually falling in love with him, making her hopes high that she will out of the writer's control. 

In the class roster, Rowoon's character is number 13, that's why Dan Oh calls him Number 13. Until such time, Dan Oh named him Ha-ru. However, changing her destiny has a price to pay.

Many viewers found this romantic tandem to be really unique and wanted to see more acting from Rowoon. With his beautiful face that can melt your heart easily, some fans even quoted that he can become the next sensational Lee Min Ho.

On December 30, 2019, he received the Best New Actor for his drama series "Extraordinary You" in 2019 MBC Drama Awards Rowoon seems to fit perfectly if he stars in webtoon "Sunbae, Don't Put on That Lipstick." 

This webtoon is between and lovely sunbae and a bold hoobae, who has a serious but full of cuteness and sexiness. And if Rowoon would officially accept it, it will be perfect. Sunbae is someone senior at work, school, or in an industry, while hoobae refers to people with less experience, most likely an apprentice.

The romance drama is between a woman in her early 30s and a handsome man in his early 20s. Lee Dong-yoon of "20th Century Boy and Girl" (2017) will be directing the drama series and plans to premiere it in October.
