Snow Man’s Ren Meguro Shines in Monday 9 PM Drama at Shimokitazawa

The new ace of STARTO Company.

Stars in the summer Monday 9 PM drama where the team behind the hit ‘silent’ reunites.

The handsome idol has grown into one of the leading “leading actors” in the drama world.

It was a little past 8:00 a.m. in late May, and in a residential area near Shimokitazawa Station (Setagaya Ward) was Ren Meguro (27) of “Snow Man” wearing a fresh aura in the morning.

Dressed in a suit and carrying a paper bag, he was walking down an alleyway while making a phone call, apparently filming for “Umi no Hajimari” (Fuji Television Network), a Monday 9 drama to be broadcast in July.

This is an original work written by Miku Ubukata (screenwriter), directed by Taiki Kazama, and produced by Ken Murase, and the “silent” team is reunited. Meguro plays the role of a father for the first time in his first starring role on Gekkan 9. He is also busy with the film release of “Trillion Game,” in which he starred in the drama, coming out next year.

Meguro is one of the best-selling idols right now, doing dramas, movies, and commercials. No matter how busy she is, she is so ambitious that she says, ‘I want to do everything I’m given. At the root of it all is his desire to “do it all for ‘Snow Man. When he joined the group in ’19, the existing members accepted him without any bad feelings. I think he wants to do all the work he can for the members who gave him a place and be useful to them.

In recent years, the Tsuki 9 slot has been suffering. Fuji is putting its best foot forward with this film.

The average rating for “366 Days,” which is currently airing, is in the 5% range, following “Because You Gave Me Your Heart,” which aired in the January season. Meguro, who has a strong sense of responsibility, is excited by the TV station’s expectations that he will not be mocked next time.

The new ace of the “STARTO” company is going forward with his two-fisted approach as an idol and an actor.
