Looks like Nichkhun’s caught the acting bug.

Remember when 2PM’s Nichkhun simply took a stab at acting. Well, this time around it looks like he’s decided to dive in headfirst and take on his first ever movie role!

Nichkhun has landed himself a part in the upcoming comedy “The Shining Diploma“. The movie tells the fictional story of mother who never graduated high school and returns to earn her diploma right as her son begins his wedding plans. Nichkhun will play the role of the mother’s second son.

The film’s production team revealed that Nichkhun was chosen for the role due to his ” unique facial features” (…their words not ours). The team also stated that the idol will show audiences a very charismatic performance, a far cry from the the sweet image that he often shows on variety shows like “Star King“.

Khun’s boss JYP will also be making a special cameo appearance in the movie. Filming for “The Shining Diploma” will begin in December.
