'Taxi Driver 3' welcomes Kim Seong-gyu, the 'master of genre works.'
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Taxi Driver 3' (written by Oh Sang-ho / directed by Kang Bo-seung / produced by StudioS, Group Eight, B.A. Entertainment), which is dominating various box office indicators and heating up the end of 2025, on the 22nd attracted attention by releasing a special poster of Kim Seong-gyu, who joins the 'rogues' lineup following Kasamatsu Sho, Yoon Shi-yoon, Eom Moon-seok and Jang Nara.
In last week's broadcast of 'Taxi Driver 3,' actress Jang Nara appeared as the fourth villain and delivered a vicious performance that completely overturned her existing image, drawing an explosive response. Along with this, episode 10 of 'Taxi Driver 3' recorded a peak rating of 15.4%, 12.5% in the metropolitan area and 11.9% nationwide, ranking first in its time slot and overwhelmingly first among mini-series aired on Saturday. In particular, the 2049 rating was a peak of 4.4% and an average of 3.7%, ranking first among all programs aired that week and capturing all the end-of-year season buzz, demonstrating the irreplaceable presence of 'Taxi Driver 3.'

A special poster of actor Kim Seong-gyu, who makes a special appearance as the fifth villain, was abruptly released. Kim Seong-gyu, called the 'master of genre works' for his distinctive presence in various genre works such as the drama 'Kingdom' series, 'The Pig King', and the films 'The Outlaws' and 'The Gangster' (literal translation of '악인전'), is joining 'Taxi Driver 3,' which is garnering attention as a 'villain hotspot,' and observers are watching what kind of synergy he will create.
In the released poster, Kim Seong-gyu captures attention with a mysterious atmosphere that reveals nothing of his inner thoughts. His neatly combed hair, tidy attire and sharp profile with metal-rimmed glasses convey an inexplicable chill. Also, viewers are curious about what expression might be concealed on his face shrouded in darkness.
In 'Taxi Driver 3,' Kim Seong-gyu plays the role of Go Jak-ga. Go Jak-ga is a photographer doing photo work on an island called Samheung-do. Although he appears to have no connection to crime or wrongdoing, questions arise about what secrets he may be hiding, and anticipation builds for the main broadcast of 'Taxi Driver 3,' where the villain's veiled identity is expected to deliver a shock.
In response, 'Taxi Driver 3' hinted, "The new episode featuring Kim Seong-gyu is a blockbuster episode set on the suspicious island of Samheung-do. Not only the trusted master of genre works Kim Seong-gyu but also actors who possess both a powerful aura and acting ability will join en masse as villains to raise the suspense of the drama. The fierce confrontation between 'Rainbow Heroes' and 'Samheung-doz' will be an exciting point of view," heightening expectations.
Meanwhile, SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Taxi Driver 3' is a private revenge agency drama in which the taxi company Rainbow Transportation, shrouded in mystery, and taxi driver Kim Do-gi complete revenge on behalf of wronged victims. Episode 11 will air on the 26th at 9:50 p.m.
