Bae Hyeon-seong, Cha Kang Yoon, and Park Yoon-Ho to Meet in Tving's 'Proxy Exam'

Rising stars Bae Hyeon-seong, Cha Kang Yoon, and Park Yoon-Ho will collaborate in Tving's original 〈Proxy Exam〉.

Tving has revealed the cast for the original series 〈Proxy Exam〉, set to be released in 2026. 〈Proxy Exam〉 depicts the story of a top student from a prestigious private school or a low-income special scholarship student who is coerced into taking a proxy exam. The cast announced on October 22 includes a combination of newcomers and veteran actors, raising expectations with Bae Hyeon-seong, Cha Kang Yoon, Park Yoon-Ho, Uhm Ji-won, Park Hyuk Kwon, and Baik Jiwon.

Cha Kang Yoon, who showcased his talent in 〈The Art of Negotiation〉 and 〈Head Over Heels〉, will lead the drama as Kang Geon-tae, a top student who must take a proxy exam. Bae Hyeon-seong, who has made a name for himself in 〈Hospital Playlist〉, 〈Our Blues〉, and 〈Shin's Project〉, will portray Nam Jae-yeop, who is consumed by inferiority towards Kang Geon-tae. Park Yoon-Ho, who has left a mark in 〈Study Group〉, 〈Our Unwritten Seoul〉, and 〈Trigger〉, will take on the role of Joo Hee-dong, a friend of Kang Geon-tae who discovers his secret. Park Hyuk Kwon and Baik Jiwon will appear as Nam Dong-sik and Baek Sun-hee, Nam Jae-yeop's parents, while Uhm Ji-won will play the role of Shim Kyung-oh.

As Tving has previously presented unique styles of school dramas such as 〈Duty After School〉, 〈Study Group〉, and 〈Learning Mate〉, expectations are high for 〈Proxy Exam〉 as a fresh school drama. Director Park So-yeon of 〈Pyramid Game〉 will be at the helm.
