Known as the “King of FTV,” Elias was once stuck in a typecasting rut as the “quiet upperclassman” or the “cold-hearted young CEO.” Although he initially felt bored, he realized that every small role was a stepping stone. His hard work paid off when he was cast in the lead role of a psychological thriller web series last year. The role required him to break away from the “cute guy” image that had long been associated with him, proving that he is more than just a pretty face.
