‘Single’s Inferno’ star DEX’s debut K-drama series ‘Tarot’ selected for Cannes International Series Festival
In January, news emerged that DEX, the breakout star from the hit reality show ‘Single’s Inferno’ and also known as Kim Jin Young, had secured a role in the K-drama webseries titled ‘Tarot’. Signed under the broadcasting and media production company kthd studio, DEX’s casting marked the first step in his acting career, transitioning from reality television to scripted drama.
‘Tarot’ is a mystery thriller, comprising seven distinct cases, each with its own central protagonist. What sets this series apart is its innovative narrative structure; each episode functions as a standalone story, woven together by the common thread of tarot cards, which play a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries. DEX’s role, though brief in duration, is poised to be a protagonist character within his designated episode.
Recently, the release of the official trailer for ‘Tarot’ has sent waves of excitement throughout DEX’s fan base and the broader K-drama community. The sneak peek offers a glimpse into the dynamic performances of DEX and his talented co-stars.
What adds to the fervor surrounding ‘Tarot’ is its prestigious selection as South Korea’s sole representative at the esteemed Cannes International Series Festival. The series has earned a spot in the Short Film Competition, marking a groundbreaking achievement as the first Korean entry in this category.
Prior to his rise to fame on ‘Single’s Inferno’, DEX established himself as a prominent figure in the digital sphere, gaining recognition as a YouTuber/Streamer. His journey on reality television includes appearances on diverse shows such as the survival thrillers ‘Bloody Game’ and ‘Zombieverse’, the dating show ‘Love & Joy’, and the variety show ‘Toy Soldiers: Fake Men 2’.
While some of his ‘Single’s Inferno’ cohorts, like Lee So He and Yun Ha Bin, boasted prior acting experience, ‘Tarot’ marks the debut role in DEX’s acting career. Similarly, fellow ‘Single’s Inferno 2’ contestant Shin Seulk Ki recently made her mark as an actor.
