Actor Seo Kang-joon is freely transitioning between '1 person 2 characters,' showcasing his exceptional character assimilation.
Seo Kang-joon portrayed Jeong Hae-seong, who infiltrated Byeongmun High School disguised to fulfill the recovery of gold bullion belonging to Emperor Gojong, in the MBC drama 'Undercover High School,' which aired on the 7th.
Jeong Hae-seong seeks to join the student council to uncover the secrets of the Byeongmun High School urban legend. Jeong Hae-seong immediately starts 'leaf floating' by placing leaves in a cup of water to become friends with the student council president Lee Ye-na (played by Kim Min-ju).
After struggling to enter the student council, Jeong Hae-seong noticed that his close friend, Ahn Yu-jeong (played by Park Se-hyeon), had changed her attitude. Realizing that Lee Ye-na and Ahn Yu-jeong had formed a subtle relationship of power dynamics, Jeong Hae-seong could not hide his disappointment. He tried to protect Ahn Yu-jeong with gentle eyes and voice, but she coldly pushed him away.
Meanwhile, a letter addressed to Jeong Hae-seong that said 'Nice to meet you, Agent Jeong Hae-seong' arrived, changing the mood of the drama. Knowing that his identity could be discovered, Jeong Hae-seong immediately rushed to the National Intelligence Service. Just then, he received a message from Mr. Kim (played by Koo Min-hyeok) asking to meet, but after Jeong Hae-seong arrived at school, Mr. Kim fell from the rooftop. Jeong Hae-seong was perplexed as he found his father's notebook in Mr. Kim's hands.
In this way, Seo Kang-joon is showcasing an overwhelming presence in both roles as a National Intelligence Service agent and a student, enhancing the drama's immersion with details such as his gaze and tone of voice, which the audience can reflect on in various ways. Amid reactions indicating an urgent need for the distribution of '1 company 1 school,' Seo Kang-joon's 'God-perfect' qualities synchronized with his character raised curiosity about future developments.
Meanwhile, the MBC drama 'Undercover High School,' featuring Seo Kang-joon, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
