Who will be the next big male model to follow in Lee Jong Suk's footsteps? Jung Dong Hyun is a popular contender.

Rookie model Jung Dong Hyun is a contender to become the next big male model. He will debut as an actor in the pilot episode of tvN's "Basketball," which is scheduled to air on October 21st. Others in this lineup of potential male models include Lee Jong Suk, Kim Woo Bin, Kim Young Kwang, Hong Jong Hyun, and Lee Soo Hyuk.

In a recently released photo, Jung Dong Hyun is wearing a black suit and a tie with a unique pattern, and greets the fans with a classic look. He gives the camera an intense gaze and an expressionless look, and radiates charismatic masculine charm.

In "Basketball," Jung Dong Hyun will be taking on the role of a popular basketball star Min Chi Ho. Min Chi Ho is usually a chic masculine man, but transforms into a man in love when he's with the girl he is interested in.

Many fans are focused on model Jung Dong Hyun, who has an eye-catching appearance to warm women's hearts, as they wait to see if he will be able to stand his ground as one of the leading men of this generation. After all he will have to compete with Lee Jong Suk, who is confidently leading others in this battle as one of the top men, and Kim Woo Bin, who rose to popularity in KBS2's "School 2013" and will be starring in SBS' new drama "The Heirs."
