Actor Seo Kang-joon is meeting viewers with his return work after about three years.
Seo Kang-joon will appear as Jung Hae-sung in the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Undercover High School," which premieres today (21st) at 9:50 p.m. Jung Hae-sung, an ace agent of the National Intelligence Service, will disguise himself as a high school student to find the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong's gold bullion and carry out his mission.
As Seo Kang-joon's return work has been a hot topic even before the first broadcast, we highlighted three points of anticipation for "Jung.Hae.Sung."
▲ "Jung" answer: 3 years since his return work… the answer reached after much consideration
"Undercover High School" is the first work Seo Kang-joon presents since his discharge from the military. Showing a multifaceted charm and building a broad filmography, "Undercover High School" represents the answer he has reached after long contemplation. It encapsulates the maximum appeal that viewers have wanted to see from Seo Kang-joon.
▲ "Hae" relief: Genre thirst relief… Seo Kang-joon equals genre
Through "Undercover High School," Seo Kang-joon encompasses various genres such as action, comedy, romance, and drama. Each genre takes on different details to make it feel like "Seo Kang-joon equals genre." At times, he delivers wild action on top of a speeding car, while at other times, he showcases a comedic charm while struggling among students, relieving genre thirst.
▲ "Seong" peak: Visual peak… a wide open door to fandom
Between a National Intelligence Service agent and a high school student, Seo Kang-joon enters a dual life of extremes. In particular, reaching a visual peak, he presents a variety of styling—suits, school uniforms, military uniforms, and judo uniforms—with his tall physical stature, opening the door wide to fandom.
Meanwhile, MBC's "Undercover High School," starring Seo Kang-joon, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
