Beloved “Hometown Cha Cha Cha” star Kim Seon Ho is set to join Netflix’s popular K-drama “When Life Gives You Tangerines” in a pivotal role. The 38-year-old actor will make his debut in Volume 3, premiering March 21, adding star power to the generational family saga.

Kim Seon Ho’s Role in When Life Gives You Tangerines Explained

Kim Seon Ho will portray Yang Geum-myeong’s husband, a character whose introduction promises to shift the narrative’s emotional center. While viewers have followed Oh Ae-sun’s journey from childhood to adulthood alongside her daughter Yang Geum-myeong’s parallel coming-of-age story, Volume 3 will explore how Geum-myeong charts a different path than her mother.

The casting news comes after Volume 2’s cliffhanger wedding scene, where Geum-myeong was seen waiting at the altar alongside her father, Yang Gwan-sik (portrayed in middle age by Park Hae Joon). Report suggests Seon Ho will play the adult version of Geum-myeong’s husband, a character key to the next chapter.

Volume 3: A Generational Shift

The upcoming volume will expand beyond Ae-sun and Gwan-sik’s story to focus more deeply on Geum-myeong’s independent journey. The recently released trailer hints at growing tensions, featuring middle-aged Ae-sun’s anxious words contrasted with her daughter’s terse phone conversations.

Viewers will witness Geum-myeong’s relationship with Yeong-beom (Lee Joon-young) evolve as she creates her own path separate from her parents’ influence. Meanwhile, flashbacks show young Ae-sun and Gwan-sik in their 20s, determined to protect their daughter at all costs—a love that transcends time as they support Geum-myeong through life’s challenges.

For fans of Kim Seon Ho eagerly awaiting his return to streaming platforms, the wait ends March 21 when “When Life Gives You Tangerines” Volume 3 drops on Netflix.
