SEVENTEEN's Seungkwan is challenging serious acting through the new drama 'Water, Wood, Gold' (tentative title). Today (22nd), his agency Pledis Entertainment revealed to Newsen that 'Seungkwan is adjusting his appearance in 'Water, Wood, Gold.' The new drama 'Water, Wood, Gold' deals with the romance between a male chef and a woman with a deep connection to a restaurant.
