2PM member and actor Ok Taecyeon made a special appearance in "Manager Kim," exuding an irreplaceable presence.
Ok Taecyeon made a special appearance in episode 4 of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim," which aired on the 4th. He appears as secret agent Park Young-gwang, who trained in the past alongside Manager Kim (So Jisub).
Park Young-gwang is a figure who grew up with Manager Kim at the Geumgang orphanage in North Korea. He underwent life-or-death training every day to become a member of the social sports team. At first, his outstanding skills highlighted him as Manager Kim's rival.
However, the two relied on each other in the harsh environment and built a stronger camaraderie than anyone else. But during an operation, Park Young-gwang fell into a trap and met a tragic end.
In this context, Ok Taecyeon, despite his short screen time, displayed a strong presence through realistic action and natural North Korean dialect. This prompted reactions such as "military-uniform Ok Taecyeon is rare" and "Ok Taecyeon completely stole this episode."
Moreover, episode 4 of "Manager Kim" recorded a high nationwide household rating of 21.6% on the 5th, according to Nielsen Korea. The drama, which has begun to spread by word of mouth, seems to have gained added synergy from Ok Taecyeon's special appearance.
Moreover, Ok Taecyeon married a non-celebrity wife in April after about 10 years of dating. After marriage, he performed with 2PM members as a full group at a concert commemorating the 15th anniversary of their Japanese debut, and he received favorable reviews for his role as boxer Johan in the Japanese Netflix series "Soulmate." With his special appearance in "Manager Kim," attention is focused on the newlywed Ok Taecyeon's continued diverse activities after marriage.<
