CIX’s Hyunsuk Embarks on New Acting Journey: Signs Exclusive Contract with Management RUN and Drops Fresh Profile Photos

A thrilling new chapter has officially begun for former CIX member Yoon Hyunsuk. Following the conclusion of his group’s activities, the multi-talented artist is formally shifting his primary focus toward the acting industry.

On June 10, specialized actor-management label Management RUN officially announced that they have secured an exclusive contract with Hyunsuk, signaling a strategic and highly anticipated step forward in his career as a full-time screen actor.

To commemorate this monumental milestone, Management RUN simultaneously unveiled a stunning set of new actor profile photos.

The freshly dropped portfolio showcases Hyunsuk’s striking versatility, capturing him in a variety of moods that range from crisp, bright, youthful charm to deeply intense, mature, and contemplative gazes.

The visual transition underscores his readiness to leave behind the conceptual styling of an idol group and embrace a wide spectrum of dramatic roles.

From Idol Stage to Next-Gen Lead: Reflecting on a Steady Dramatic Evolution

Hyunsuk initially stepped into the public spotlight in July 2019, debuting as the charismatic dancer, vocalist, and youngest member (maknae) of C9 Entertainment’s popular boy group CIX.

Over the course of seven years, he earned extensive global praise for his towering 188 cm physique, exceptionally sophisticated facial features, and stable, commanding stage presence.

After CIX officially wrapped up their long-standing group activities and contracts in April 2026, fans focused heavy attention on what the future held for each member.

While his musical talents are well-documented, Hyunsuk has been quietly and methodically laying down deep roots in the acting sphere for years.

He made his official acting debut in the 2021 web drama Best Mistake 3 (also known as When I Fell for a Bully), turning heads with his natural performance.

He followed this success in 2022 by earning widespread critical acclaim for his stable emotional delivery in the lead role of the EBS drama The World You Fell Into.

This foundational background has firmly established him in the eyes of industry insiders as a highly prospective, next-generation youth actor to watch.
