NCT members Jaemin and Jeno are set to take on lead roles in the upcoming sports fantasy drama 'Wind Up,' marking a new chapter in their careers as actors.

According to SPOTV News on September 3, the two idols will star in the drama, which centers around high school baseball. The story follows a talented young athlete whose life is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious transfer student. The series will be directed by Kim Sung Ho, known for his work on 'Move to Heaven' and 'Bad Prosecutor,' promising a compelling and emotionally rich production.
