ㅤ It was officially confirmed that niveau seuil's Taeyang will join the cast of the upcoming Harmonia Studios anime Old Fashioned Love(original work by Nekomaeda) as the main character alongside rookie voice actor Hashiguchi Hayate. This will be his official debut outside any project related to his group, including the 2023 animated movie On The Borderline and its related drama CD yuuji's memOir.
ㅤ Although fans are excited to see him in his first serious role and most seem to be greatly supportive, a few VENUSes(niveau seuil's fandom) have expressed their concerns regarding the media in question being a BL, along with the allegedly controversial nature of the manga itself.

ㅤ Old Fashioned Love tells about Hayasaka (VA:Taeyang), an unambitious office worker, and his senior Igarashi (VA:Hashiguchi Hayate), who hides a horrible personality behind his polite and professional appearance, as the two learn each other's darkest secrets and start a tumultuous relationship bordering between hate and love. The original work has sparked controversy in a few online forums due to the age gap between the characters (with Hayasaka and Igarashi being 27 and 39 respectively) and the power dynamic between the two, but many fans of the author have defended the work for its refreshing approach on the two topics.
ㅤ Old Fashioned Love will reportedly air in the first quarter of 2025.

▎ FEVEN'S NOTES ⌕
From now on, I'll introduce news articles through this made up website instead of relying on allkpop and Soompi! News numbering might change overtime as I plan to repost articles from the old book (especially articles pertaining to older releases).
This manga, its anime, the author and that one voice actor (whose identity I made up because I don't think putting groupmates together in a controversial BL together is a good idea) will get their own pages on the Seiyuu Academy Wiki soon! A Google Doc version of the whole story will be public at its own time as well.
I'm sorry in advance if the comment section is weirdly formatted, laptop gives a warped perception compared to mobile... 💔
