Actor Kim Ki-bang, known as the 'premium supporting actor,' will showcase his life performance through MBN's 'First Lady.'
On the 8th, his agency Dante Entertainment announced that Kim Ki-bang has been cast in the role of Yoon Gi-joo in MBN's 'First Lady.' The new drama 'First Lady' (written by Kim Hyung-wan, directed by Lee Ho-hyun, produced by Studio Jidam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus) depicts an unprecedented situation in which the husband elected as president demands a divorce from his wife, who is destined to become the first lady. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the remaining 67 days until the presidential inauguration, showcasing the intense conflicts between the president-elect couple and the political conspiracies and family secrets that come to light.
Kim Ki-bang will transform into Yoon Gi-joo, a character who comes from a background of manual labor, reflecting the harsh realities of life without reservation. Yoon Gi-joo is not only deeply connected to the dramatic narrative of Hyun Min-cheol (Ji Hyun-woo), the elected president, but also a key figure who has experienced 'the incident' that binds Hyun Min-cheol and those around him.
Though possessing a just, simple, and loyal character, Yoon Gi-joo's timeline, filled with endless confrontations and escalating conflicts that shake his fate, is expected to become a major point in the drama, enhancing the viewers' engagement as he struggles to prove justice.
Kim Ki-bang has garnered the title of 'premium supporting actor' by seamlessly blending into characters with his distinctive style and impactful performances in various works. Through this role of 'Gi-joo,' he is set to express both innocence and deep-rooted grievances, along with a burning desire for justice, proving his broad acting spectrum, garnering attention for his performance.
Meanwhile, 'First Lady,' featuring Kim Ki-bang, is set to premiere on September 24, 2025.
