I'm thankful that they considered me for such a great piece of work."

Nam Tae Hyun further conveyed, "I thought it very cinematic when I first received the script for 'Late-Night Restaurant'. I think it's a drama that contains touching emotions, so it's great honor to be starring in it." 

The singer will be portraying Minwoo, a hardworking boy who is pure and kindhearted despite growing up in an underprivileged environment.
