A Star Athlete and a Silent Struggle
Idol-turned-actor Kim Yohan is tugging at heartstrings in his latest acting role. In the July 15 episode of SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Try: We Become Miracles’, Yohan plays rising rugby star Yoon Sung-jun—a teen grappling with growing pains, fractured family ties, and the pressure to prove himself.
An Emotional Blow From Mom
Just before an important championship match, Sung-jun is thrilled to see his mother drop by—only to be crushed when she tells him she won’t be staying for the game. The reason? She’s flying off to Spain to cheer on his twin brother, who’s playing for Korea’s junior national soccer team. Talk about sibling rivalry on steroids.
Adding salt to the wound, she suggests he abandon rugby altogether: “Why not study to be a sports agent in Spain? Who knows how much longer you’ll even be able to play?”
Refusing to Be the ‘Backup Twin’
Yohan delivers a powerful gut-punch of a scene, replying through clenched teeth: “So I’m just supposed to be Seok-jun’s sidekick, huh?” Despite feeling overlooked, he vows to stick with rugby and make it into college on his own merit. Cue the slow clap.
A Touch of Comfort—and Chemistry
Just when Sung-jun hits rock bottom, a comforting moment with classmate Seo Woo-jin (played by Park Jung-yeon) brings out his softer side. Their interaction swings from playful jabs to warm encouragement, hinting at a budding romance and giving fans a breather from all the emotional intensity.
Yohan’s Rise as an Actor
Viewers are showering praise on Kim Yohan for portraying the emotional complexities of a teen stuck in the shadow of his sibling. His subtle facial acting and stormy eyes make Sung-jun feel painfully real. As the drama unfolds, audiences are excited to see just how much more Yohan can flex his acting chops.
