Jung Woo-jae

BIOGRAPHY

Jung Woo-jae (정우재, born 8 April 1994) is a South Korean actor with three recorded credits, spread across a Boys’ Love web series, a national-broadcaster historical romance and a long-running medical drama.

He plays Seong-min in Love Class Season 2 (수업중입니다), across all ten episodes of its run between 11 August and 8 September 2023. Love Class is built on a college class in which students are paired off and sent on dates, and by its second season it had become one of the more durable Korean BL properties, later running to a sixteen-episode third season in 2026 and reaching audiences through Viki, GagaOOLala, wavve and Cinema Heaven.

Two months after that season ended he appeared as Kim Jib in all sixteen episodes of The Matchmakers (혼례대첩), the Joseon-era romantic comedy that ran on KBS2 from 30 October to 25 December 2023, produced by FNC Story with Cine Joo. He is also credited with one episode of Dr. Romantic (낭만닥터 김사부), the SBS medical drama.

BLGLFlix editorial view

The shape of this career is worth noting because it runs against the usual direction of travel. He did a BL web series in August 2023 and was on KBS2 in a sixteen-episode prime-time sageuk by October. The standard story about Korean BL is that it is a place actors pass through on the way up, or a place they end up when nothing else is available. Here it sits alongside mainstream network work in the same season, which is a healthier picture of where the format sits in a Korean actor’s year than the one usually told.

A note on what is not on this page. An agency name, an education, a set of physical measurements and an MBTI type circulate for him on a single uncited wiki page. Measurements and personality-test types are not published here on one source under any circumstances, and the other two are not carried without a second one. Their absence is a sourcing decision, not a gap in his career.

One unresolved detail stays unresolved. TMDB holds all three seasons of Dr. Romantic in a single record spanning 2016 to 2023, and credits him with one episode without saying which season. If it was 2016, his career begins seven years earlier than this page states. The 2023 season would be consistent with everything else on record, but that cannot be confirmed, so the years-active figure here is the best confirmed reading rather than a settled fact.

TRIVIA

He went from a BL web series to prime-time network television in the same season. Love Class Season 2 finished on 8 September 2023; The Matchmakers began on KBS2 on 30 October 2023.

The Matchmakers is a sixteen-episode Joseon-era romantic comedy, which makes it by some distance the largest credit on his record.

Love Class has run to three seasons across four years: six episodes in 2022, ten in 2023 and sixteen in 2026. He appears in the second.

The series has been carried by four different services, Viki, GagaOOLala, wavve and Cinema Heaven, which is unusually wide distribution for a Korean BL.

His Dr. Romantic credit is a single episode of a drama that ran across three seasons between 2016 and 2023, and no source we accept identifies which season.

He shares his name with a professional Korean footballer, which is why this page is anchored to one TMDB person identifier and why several plausible-looking biographical details found online are not published here.

Born 8 April 1994, after the Lunar New Year of 10 February that year, which puts him in the year of the Dog.
