Ji Hyun-woo became president. However, he notified his wife, Yoo-jin, of the divorce.
The new MBN Wednesday mini-series 'First Lady' (written by Kim Hyung-wan, directed by Lee Ho-hyun, produced by Studio Jidam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus), which is set to premiere on Sept. 24 (Wed) at 10:20 p.m., contains a story that unfolds as an unprecedented incident where a husband elected as president demands a divorce from his wife who is to become the first lady. It vividly portrays the political conspiracies and family secrets that arise amid the suffocating conflict of the presidential couple in the remaining 67 days until the president's inauguration.
In particular, 'First Lady' is a work written by Kim Hyung-wan, who proved his excellent storytelling with dramas 'Dream High 2', 'Hide Your Identity', and the film 'Superstar Gam Sa-yong', garnering expectations after a preparation period of six years.
In this context, the 'first teaser' of 'First Lady', which is being hailed as the most talked-about work of the second half of 2025, captivates viewers. The 'first teaser' introduces a thrilling prologue about a political 'world of couples' where Yoo-jin, Ji Hyun-woo, and Lee Min-young create a conflict driven by power, ambition, and love.
First, Cha Soo-yeon (Yoo-jin) heads to a dressroom filled with glamorous outfits, while Hyun Min-cheol (Ji Hyun-woo) raises his voice with a serious expression, saying, "Only one person has not left me." Behind the confident figure of Cha Soo-yeon reaching out to Hyun Min-cheol, he expresses his gratitude, saying, "Thanks to you, I was able to come this far," while Shin Hae-rin (Lee Min-young) is shown handing him a congratulatory bouquet, touched by his confirmation as president.
Afterward, Cha Soo-yeon waves to her enthusiastic supporters with a bright smile, saying, "I am the one who made that person president. My husband is a politician, and I am both his wife and political partner," and then she dons sunglasses and fixes her gaze on something.
After the phrase 'perfect first couple' is displayed, the screen transitions, and with a shocked expression, Hyun Min-cheol says, "Are you saying that the first lady overturned our party's stance overnight?" Behind him, a banner from the presidential transition committee hanging on the building falls to the ground. Alongside this, a voice expresses concern, saying, "As the president-elect's position weakens, Cha Soo-yeon's influence will only grow," while Cha Soo-yeon walks through numerous reporters, contrasting sharply with Hyun Min-cheol, who is deep in thought.
After the phrase 'the crack of power sneaking through the gap' is emphasized, Hyun Min-cheol, on the stage confirming the presidential election, shocks everyone by saying, "Let's get divorced. I am asking for a divorce," while Cha Soo-yeon, with tears welling up, intensifies the tension. Particularly, after the intense subtitle 'the worst scandal of the first couple,' Cha Soo-yeon resolutely shouts, "Divorce is not an option. Absolutely not," just as she smashes a mirror and crushes a tomato with her foot, raising curiosity about the fatal narrative set to unfold.
The production team expressed confidence, saying, "The 'first teaser' is composed of intense scenes that give a preview of the storms to come in 'First Lady.' It will go beyond a simple political drama to become a spectacular drama that encapsulates desire, betrayal, revenge, and love."
