It’s an overload of South Korean heartthrobs set to star alongside K-pop megastar Jisoo in Netflix’s romantic comedy series “Boyfriend on Demand.”

Scheduled to premiere on March 6, the drama features the Blackpink member as Seo Mi-rae, a burned-out webtoon producer who escapes her exhausting work life by diving into a virtual dating simulation program, where she gets to experience the romance of her dreams.

While Jisoo’s primary male lead is Seo In-guk, the character’s virtual world opens the door to a parade of fantasy suitors. For these roles, the production has enlisted a lineup of K-drama and K-pop stars guaranteed to make fans swoon — and, yes, probably a little jealous (Though let’s be honest: landing a role opposite Jisoo is a win, too).

Below, we round up the actors set to sweep Jisoo (or Mi-rae, to be more exact) off her feet in “Boyfriend on Demand,” based on the teasers we’ve seen so far.

SEO IN-GUK

In “Boyfriend on Demand,” Seo In-guk plays Park Kyeong-nam, Mi-rae’s colleague in the real world and a rival webtoon producer. His cold demeanor makes Mi-rae uneasy, but he harbors surprising secrets that are sure to stir the heroine’s emotions, according to a press release. The trailer presents Kyeong-nam as serious, yet shows him prying into Mi-rae’s romantic life.

In-guk entered the entertainment industry as a singer after winning the reality show “Superstar K” in 2009, and later gained wider recognition through his lead role in the 2012 coming-of-age drama “Reply 1997.” The 38-year old’s other notable series include “Doom at Your Service” (2021), “Café Minamdang” (2022) and “Death's Game” (2023).

SEO KANG-JOON

The dashing Seo Kang-joon displays a striking duality in the teasers: in one, his character sports a pink varsity jacket; in another, he appears in a martial arts uniform, wielding a wooden sword.

Kang-joon, 32, is known for starring in “Cheese in the Trap (2016),” “Are You Human?” (2018), and “When the Weather Is Fine” (2020). In 2025, he starred in the action-comedy series “Undercover High School,” playing a spy who goes undercover as a high school student — marking his first project since completing his mandatory military service.

LEE SOO-HYUK

Model-actor Lee Soo-hyuk appears as a corporate executive. In one teaser photo, he is shown in a suit, poring over papers at his desk; in another, he appears cozy with Mi-rae as they share champagne.

Soo-hyuk is known for the dramas “Sweet Stranger and Me” and “Doom at Your Service.” Last year, he starred in the thriller series “S Line” — set in a world where people’s sexual relationships are visible as red lines above their heads — which gained traction among K-drama fans online.

ONG SEONG-WU

K-pop star-turned-actor Ong Seong-wu appears in the teasers as a sort of detective, showing Mi-rae his badge in one photo and holding a gun in another.

The 30-year-old rose to fame as a contestant on the second season of the K-pop survival show “Produce 101” in 2017, finishing fifth to join the boy band Wanna One. As an actor, he has starred in “At Eighteen” (2019), “More Than Friends” (2020) and “Strong Girl Nam Soon” (2023).

LEE JAE-WOOK

In the drama, Lee Jae-wook appears to portray a doctor, going by the teaser photos. The 27-year-old is best known for starring in the fantasy period drama “Alchemy of Souls” (2022), with other notable shows including “The Impossible Heir” (2024) and “Dear Hongrang” (2025).

LEE HYUN-WOOK

Lee Hyun-wook appears in the teasers as a prosecutor — or possibly a judge — dressed in professional attire and flashing a warm smile at Mi-rae. The actor, 40, has appeared in the dramas “She Would Never Know” (2021), “Remarriage & Desires” (2022) and “The Queen Who Crowns” (2025).

KIM YOUNG-DAE

Dynastic Korea is a common backdrop for K-dramas exploring period romances, and Kim Young-dae’s role appears to fit that setting, with the teaser showing him dressed in traditional Korean attire.

He gained popularity through the series “Extraordinary You” (2019) and “The Penthouse: War in Life” (2021), with later notable dramas including “Shooting Stars” (2022), “No Gain No Love” (2024) and “Dear X” (2025).

JAY PARK

Jay Park joins the cast of “Boyfriend on Demand” as a romantic interest for Mi-rae who exudes a celebrity aura, with styling that hints at his character’s swagger and fame.

The 38-year-old Park debuted as a member of the boy band 2PM before transitioning to a solo career as a hip-hop and R&B artist, becoming an influential figure in the Korean hip-hop scene. Among his popular tracks are “Mommae” and “Ganadara.”

KIM SUNG-CHEOL

Teaser photos also identify Kim Sung-cheol as one of Mi-rae’s matches, showing him clad in an all-black outfit while speaking on the phone at a restaurant. K-drama audiences may recognize the 34-year-old actor from “Do You Like Brahms?” (2020), “Our Beloved Summer” (2021) and “Hellbound” (2024).

Netflix has yet to release still cuts of Lee Sang-yi, but the 34-year-old actor appears on the series poster as one of Mi-rae’s virtual dates. He is known for series such as “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” (2021), “Good Boy” (2025), and Netflix’s hit action drama “Bloodhounds” (2023). — With a report from Jaehwa Bernardo, ABS-CBN News
