          If you're new to Jung HaeIn, here is some basic information about him. Jung HaeIn was born on 1 Apr. 1988, and his passion for acting grew on the theatre stage.

          He had a taste of the acting life through musicals in his freshman year at university and decided to go to the military after.

          Unlike many Korean actors, Jung HaeIn debuted as an actor at an older age than most. When he was 21 years old (Korean age), he enlisted in the military and fulfilled his military service and reserve forces training before making his acting debut.

          After finishing his military service and graduating from school, he joined an acting agency. By the time he debuted, he was already 26 years old.

          Jung HaeIn made his acting debut as Choi KangIn in "Bride of the Century" (2014). He especially gained a lot of buzz after his cameo role in the hit K-Drama "Goblin" (2016), early on in his career. He played the role of Ji EunTak (Kim GoEun's character)'s first love and netizens were shocked by his handsome visuals, wondering why he only had such a small role in the drama. Since then, he has been captivating the eyes and hearts of many K-Drama lovers all over the world.

          Honestly, every single production that Jung HaeIn has acted in has been noteworthy. However, we'll take a look at only a few of his most iconic works so far.

          His role in "While You Were Sleeping" (2017) as Han WooTak was another role that earned him a lot of recognition not only for his visuals but because of his acting skills, as well.

          In "Something in the Rain" (2018), he played the role of Seo JoonHee. This role earned him many well-deserved compliments such as, "Jung HaeIn shines," and "Jung HaeIn is a revelation." Many were impressed by how emotive his eyes were in conveying his feelings during the story, wowed by his convincingly emotional performance. As such, a lot of fans have dubbed this drama as a must-watch drama if you want a Jung HaeIn high.

          Jung HaeIn's character in "D.P." (2021) as Ahn JoonHo showed a different side to his charm as a multifaceted actor. It showcased a darker and gritty side to his acting as the drama dealt with raw subject matter. The show was heavy to watch for most fans of his lighter/brighter works, however, he did the important message that it was trying to convey justice.

          In "Snowdrop" (2021), he played Im SooHo/Rim TaeSan and once again showed off his suspenseful acting. The intense nature of the drama really brings out an edge in his character that shows another appeal to his acting. Fans especially enjoyed his chemistry with his on-screen love interest, once again.

          Make sure to check out the rest of his filmography, including his films, too. He has a number of works that we weren't able to list above but that still deserve to be seen! Many fans especially look forward to his upcoming K-Drama role in "D.P. Season 2".

          Jung HaeIn is known as a master of his craft. Whether he is dealing with a grueling set of circumstances or giving heart-fluttering feels as he falls head over heels for his female lead, one thing is for certain... Jung HaeIn always delivers an immersive viewing experience with intricate and emotive acting.

          He is not only a stellar actor but a stellar person, too. He has one of the best mentalities when it comes to his career and his life. Jung HaeIn believes that a person should stay focused on where they are and what they have now. One should be grateful because they become what they have. He even said that he'd like to continue his work with that attitude for a long time.

          He is the epitome of humility and has a humble and wholesome personality.

          One of the best places to get an idea of his personality outside of acting is by watching his travel vlogs. Watching him travel might become one of your favorite pastimes, too. He has shown fans a number of travel vlogs of him exploring the world and the new side of him that we get to see in these videos is the epitome of wholesome. He is so down-to-earth which makes him all the more lovable.

          Check out one of his recent travel vlogs from his trip to Hawaii here or below.

          Lastly, as we said in the introduction, Jung HaeIn is the ultimate heartthrob. Whether he is showing an earnest and rugged charm or dazzlingly us with his heart-melting smile dripping with boyish charm; the man is straight-up admirable.

          More about his adorable smile... We'll borrow a fan's words to describe the sentiment you'll feel when you see how beautiful he is when he smiles...

          "Most angelic innocent face ever."
