In the previous 5th episode, Soo-jung and Joo-yeon went on a business trip to secure a contract for the entrance of the Strong Peak Ranch into the Yongseong Department Store. During the trip, a drunken Joo-yeon revealed his desire to be seen as a man to Soo-jung and kissed her, exploding viewers' excitement with the boldness of a younger man.
In this context, the production team of "The Guy is a Black Dragon" has drawn attention by announcing today (the 4th) that actor Hong Jong-hyun will make a special appearance in the 6th episode. He will create a stir in the pink romance between Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook, focusing attention. Hong Jong-hyun plays the role of 'Yoon Ji-hoo,' Moon Ga-young's blind date, acting as a scene stealer and heightening the tension in the romance line with Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook.
In the released stills, Yoon Ji-hoo (played by Hong Jong-hyun) gazes at Soo-jung with kind eyes and a subtle smile, capturing attention. Soo-jung, in turn, listens attentively to Ji-hoo, creating a subtle atmosphere between the two as they get to know each other. Especially since Ji-hoo, unlike the younger Joo-yeon, fits Soo-jung's ideal type perfectly as an older man, interest is growing in whether Ji-hoo, boasting a warm appearance and tall stature that strikes a chord with women, can also win Soo-jung's heart.
Meanwhile, Joo-yeon witnesses the meeting between Soo-jung and Ji-hoo outside the company after work. Joo-yeon seems to be shocked at the sight of Soo-jung with another man, with his expression dripping with regret. As to what happened after Soo-jung and Joo-yeon kissed while on a business trip, and whether the pink office romance has turned to a red alert, curiosity about future developments is rising.
The production team of "The Guy is a Black Dragon" noted, "Hong Jong-hyun will appear as a blind date who will capture women's hearts with his delicate consideration and sweet remarks," adding that "Hong Jong-hyun's appearance will lead to explosive jealousy from Choi Hyun-wook and an explosion of the younger Deputy Minister's direct charm." With Hong Jong-hyun joining, attention is focused on how it will heighten the tension in the romance line of "The Guy is a Black Dragon."
