Chicken restaurant owner Han Seok-kyu transforms into a new concept hero.
The new tvN drama 'The Chairman's Project' (written by Ban Gi-ri, directed by Shin Kyung-soo, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Do Frame) will begin airing in the second half of 2025. It is a drama that encapsulates a national communication project where the god of negotiations, 'the chairman,' mediates disputes for those in crisis during an era of communication breakdown.
The series is drawing anticipation as writer Ban Gi-ri, known for creating warm genre pieces like the drama 'Missing: They Were There' and 'Doctor Frost,' collaborates with director Shin Kyung-soo, who has showcased a sensuous visual style in dramas such as 'Mung Bean Flower' and 'Police Station Next to Fire Station.' With the casting of actor Han Seok-kyu, who needs no modifiers, the synergy of trusted writer, director, and actor is highly anticipated.
In the drama, Han Seok-kyu plays the role of 'the chairman,' who is at the center of negotiations. Running a chicken restaurant, the chairman is a neighborhood negotiator who appears every time disputes arise among the neighbors with his hearty personality, sophistication, and eloquence. It is said that he possesses an impressive temperament, a dazzling linguistic ability, and a bold competitive spirit that defies belief for an ordinary chicken restaurant owner. Viewers await the delightful, thrilling, and refreshing performances of Han Seok-kyu, which are expected to bring joy to South Korea.
As such, the exceptional chicken restaurant owner, the chairman, is expected to quickly and accurately resolve disputes while eliminating all injustices in the world, providing viewers with exhilarating relief. Anticipation is growing for the chairman's fiery negotiations that will cool the long-simmering anger and pain of the people.
The production team of 'The Chairman's Project' stated, "It is unimaginable to have anyone other than Han Seok-kyu as the chairman. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the beginning, the end, and the very identity of 'The Chairman's Project.'" They added, "With the chairman's tough action and sharp intellect, he is expected to attract viewers as regulars, so please look forward to it."
The new tvN drama 'The Chairman's Project,' where viewers can meet the neighborhood chicken restaurant owner, Han Seok-kyu, known as the god of negotiations, will premiere in the second half of this year.
