Woo Do-hwan Renews Contract With BLITZWAY ENTERTAINMENT

Actor Woo Do-hwan is staying with his current agency. BLITZWAY ENTERTAINMENT announced on July 22 that it has signed a new contract with the actor, extending a partnership the label says has been built on years of trust.

CEO Hong Min-ki framed the renewal as a long-term bet on the actor's range. "Woo Do-hwan is an actor who has built his own color through intense energy and solid acting skills," Hong said. "I'm glad to walk together again based on the trust we've built. We will fully support him so that he can showcase his strengths on the global stage even more widely."

Woo has spent the past year raising his international profile through streaming projects. In the Disney+ original series "Made in Korea," released last year, he played Baek Ki-hyun, an elite officer and Korea Military Academy graduate. The character steps out of the shadow of his older brother Baek Ki-tae, played by Hyun Bin, to chase his own goals, and Woo's performance drove much of the show's tension.

Earlier this year, he took on the role of Kim Gun-woo in the Netflix series "Bloodhounds" Season 2, helping power the show's global run. In June, Woo won the Special Acting Award in the OTT category at the 46th Grand Bell Awards for Cinematography.

His schedule stays full after the renewal. In the second half of this year, Woo will return for Disney+ original series "Made in Korea" Season 2 as a central figure caught between Baek Ki-tae, now at the peak of his power, and Jang Gun-young, played by Jung Woo-sung, who is preparing to strike back.

BLITZWAY ENTERTAINMENT's roster also includes Ju Ji-hoon, Chun Woo-hee, Doh Kyung-soo, Chae Jong-hyeop, Moon Chae-won, and Chae Seo-an. As Korean streaming titles continue to travel farther through Disney+ and Netflix, actors like Woo have become a key part of how mid-sized Korean agencies build international leverage. The renewal signals that BLITZWAY sees his next few years as central to that push.
