Actor Won Hyun-joon will join SBS's 'Director Kim'.

SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Kim Jang-bu" (played by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun) is a drama about Kim Jang-bu (played by So Ji-seop), who lives as an ordinary head of household and a small citizen, revealing his secrets that should never be known and risking everything to save his daughter, based on the webtoon of the same name.

In the play, Won Hyun-joon played the role of Kang Kook-chul, director of the National Special Mission Bureau. Kang Kook-chul is a principleist who puts national security first and has a hard-headed judgment. It is a character who looks pleasant and gentle on the outside, but is more rough than expected, and it is expected that Won Hyun-joon's heavy charisma will be added to portray Kang Kook-chul's character in three dimensions. In particular, he, who has been in charge of monitoring "Director Kim," who has returned to society, will persistently track down Director Kim, who has become out of control, and instill tension in the play.

Until now, Won Hyun-joon has proven his stable acting skills and solid character digestibility across genres such as movies "Gwissy" and "The Foreign Secretary," as well as dramas such as "Good Day for Eun-soo," "Pine: Villains," "Hyperknife," and "Queen Woo." In particular, "Fine: Villagers," who played the role of Busan wrestling coach "Coach Kim," evoked the atmosphere of the play with natural Busan dialect acting, while on "Good Day," he gave a rough aura and cool fear as the boss of a drug trafficking organization, "Dogyu-man," raising the level of immersion in the play and left a deep impression. Expectations are high on what new faces Won Hyun-joon, who has shown an intense presence in each of his works, will capture viewers in this "Director Kim."

Director Kim will premiere in 2026.
