Actor Fan In-yeop will appear as a special guest on the Netflix variety show "Crime Scene Zero." Scheduled to premiere on September 23, Netflix's "Crime Scene Zero" is a legendary role-playing mystery game where players become suspects and detectives to find the hidden criminal among them. As a new series returning, it is set to showcase a richer essence and fun of the incidents for a global audience. Comprising 10 episodes, it is planned to be released over three weeks. In this season, Fan In-yeop will appear as a special guest in an episode, expected to maximize viewer immersion through his intense presence and perfectly synchronized play with the character. Furthermore, he will confuse players like Chang Jin, Park Ji-yoon, Chang Dong-min, Kim Ji-hoon, and IVE's Yujin with his bold responses and unwavering poker face against the suspicions and inquiries directed at him, engaging in a fierce war of deduction. Fan In-yeop shared his thoughts, saying, "As a long-time fan of Crime Scene, it was truly meaningful to participate in the new season. I hope for a lot of love and interest in 'Crime Scene Zero,' which will be presented with a new story and on a larger scale." Thus, attention is gathering on whether Fan In-yeop, who is appearing in his first mystery variety show since his debut, will attract viewers' interest in a different manner from his previous works. Fan In-yeop is also set to make a special appearance as Ho In-gang, a top star actor from an idol background, in the TVING original series "Dear X," which will be released in Korea in November.
