Korean BL fans have reason to celebrate, as OMEGA X Kevin becomes the latest idol to enter the Boys’ Love genre. Following his bandmates’ successful BL projects, Kevin will showcase his acting chops in My Bias Is Showing opposite rising star Kim Kangmin.
Notably, this casting continues OMEGA X’s impressive streak in BL dramas. While Jaehan, Yechan, and Hangyeom previously starred in A Shoulder to Cry On and Jazz for Two, Kevin now carries the torch as the fourth member to join the BL world.
At its core, the drama delivers a fantasy scenario for K-pop fans:
- Firstly, Kevin plays Na Ae Joon, a teacher hiding his obsession with idol Choi Si Yeol (Kim Kangmin)
- When Si Yeol films a reality show at Ae Joon’s school, suddenly the teacher must work closely with his bias
- As tensions rise, Ae Joon struggles to conceal his fandom while navigating unexpected feelings
Significantly, the drama pairs two rising stars:
- Kevin (OMEGA X): Makes his BL debut after showcasing vocals in the 11-member group
- Kim Kangmin: Brings prestige from his The Red Sleeve role to his first BL project
With Kevin’s casting, an impressive 4 of 11 OMEGA X members have now starred in BL dramas, solidifying the group’s unique position in K-pop.
After his acclaimed historical drama performance, Kangmin’s BL debut marks an exciting career expansion that could attract new viewers.
True to modern K-BL trends, the drama’s 10-episode, 20-minute runtime promises fast-paced storytelling ideal for international streaming.
Currently, the drama is slated for late 2025, with Viki or iQIYI being the most likely streaming platforms. Additionally, fans speculate whether OMEGA X might contribute an OST, given their members’ growing BL involvement.
Ultimately, the combination of Kevin’s fresh acting perspective, Kim Kangmin’s star power, and the relatable fan-idol premise positions this drama for success. As the K-BL genre grows, OMEGA X Kevin’s debut could potentially become one of the year’s most talked-about series.
