Disney+ original series "The Manipulated" released character stills of Doh Kyung Soo as An Yo-han, the sculptor who designs crimes.
In 2025, Disney+'s most entertaining series "The Manipulated" unveiled character stills of Doh Kyung Soo, who will show another transformation as An Yo-han. "The Manipulated" is an action drama about Tae-jung (Ji Chang-wook), who lived an ordinary life until one day he is wrongfully caught up in a heinous crime and sent to prison, and then learns that everything was planned by Yo-han (Doh Kyung Soo) and carries out revenge against him.
From the films Swing Kids, The Moon and Secret: Untold Melody to the dramas It's Okay, That's Love and The King's Affection. Always taking on new faces and freely embodying characters to show variations in his acting, actor Doh Kyung Soo challenges a villain role for the first time in his filmography through "The Manipulated." Playing An Yo-han, the sculptor who designs crimes, Doh Kyung Soo will reveal a new side as a cruel, mad character who carves other people's lives.
An Yo-han is the CEO of a special security service for the top 1% who feels exhilaration by fabricating evidence to re-design the real perpetrator of cases. To eliminate Tae-jung, who might become his only failure, he plans a new scheme and begins to clash fiercely with Tae-jung. The released stills capture Doh Kyung Soo's chilling and merciless look like never before.
Yo-han's figure, who appears to look for another target in a white room where he designs every case and observes the shapes of his pieces through CCTV, raises curiosity about what cases he will sculpt next. In particular, Doh Kyung Soo paid a lot of attention to appearance to highlight Yo-han's evil charm, arranging short, sharp hairstyles and monochrome outfits, raising expectations for the villainous character he will present.
Doh Kyung Soo said, "I tried a villain for the first time. Because the character itself has to look cold, I thought about how to express the character Yo-han," revealing the process in which he spared no worry for his first villain transformation. Director Park Shin-woo said, "Yo-han is a character like pure evil. Doh Kyung Soo's clear eyes and innocent smile fit the image of Yo-han I had in mind perfectly," expressing satisfaction with Doh Kyung Soo for completing the Yo-han character with an irreplaceable charm and increasing curiosity about the villain he will present.
The Manipulated, which draws attention with Ji Chang-wook's hot sprint toward revenge and Doh Kyung Soo's fierce confrontation as a new face in his first villain role, the synergy of fresh actors including Kim Jong-soo, Jo Yoon-soo and Lee Kwang-soo, and the solid writing of "Taxi Driver" series writer Oh Sang-ho, will release four episodes on Disney+ on Nov. 5 (Wed) exclusively on Disney+, then release two episodes weekly thereafter, for a total of 12 episodes.<
