“I feel some pressure as I’m starring in my first movie, but I feel a connection (to the role) as he, too, is a singer. I want to depict him growing as a true artist,” he said.
The film’s director Im Seong-gwan -- whose most noted works are music videos of K-pop stars -- has worked with Teen Top, Taeyeon, BTOB and Block B.
While this is Niel’s first movie role, it is not his first time acting. He starred in last year’s musical “Altar Boyz.”
Teen Top is currently preparing for a concert in Seoul in July.
