"This will be his first time acting since his debut. He's nervous because it's his first time acting, and he's working hard practicing guitar and acting because he's a guitarist in the movie. He's working hard, so please show a lot of interest," Seungho's label reportedly said in a statement.

Suengho is one of three members of the previously five-member boy band that stayed together to continue promoting as a group with a revised name of MBL3Q to reflect their new configuration.
