Actors So Ji-sub, Choi Dae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-hoo, Joo Sang-wook, Son Na-eun, and Kim Sung-kyu revealed the script reading scene for 'Manager Kim'.

According to SBS on the 22nd, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim' (script by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun, planned and produced by Studio S, Fantagio) has confirmed its premiere on June 26. 'Manager Kim' is a father-universe revenge action drama about an ordinary father who becomes 'the world's most dangerous man' to reclaim his only daughter.

'Manager Kim' is adapted from the Naver webtoon of the same name. Screenwriter Nam Dae-jung, known for his solid writing in 'Great Wish', '30 Days', and 'First Ride', collaborated with director Lee Seung-young, who demonstrated sensory direction in 'Wonderful World', 'Tracer', and 'Voice 2', and director Lee So-eun, who will add freshness to the story with a unique perspective.

At the reading session, director Lee Seung-young stated about the drama, "I will do my best so that when the program ends, people will say, 'It was fun and an amazing experience.'"

So Ji-sub plays Manager Kim, the father of Min-ji, who appears to be an ordinary employee at a small and medium-sized savings bank but is actually a former North-South covert agent. He showcases a new breakthrough in paternal love acting, displaying a three-dimensional performance that simultaneously radiates the tenderness of a doting father and a chilling charisma, leaving the set breathless with his expanded acting spectrum.

Choi Dae-hoon, a taekwondo gold medalist and currently a taekwondo instructor teaching children, played Sung Han-soo, Taehoon's father, delivering a performance that seamlessly blends comedy and gravitas. Choi Dae-hoon earned thumbs-up for his sharp chemistry with So Ji-sub as Manager Kim and his sparkling comedic dynamic with Yoon Kyung-ho as Park Jin-cheol.

Yoon Kyung-ho embodied Park Jin-cheol, who was once a god of the battlefield but now takes pride in being called Dabin's father, delivering a vibrant and passionate performance. He realistically portrayed Park Jin-cheol's emotional struggle as his daughter grows up and his playful banter with Sung Han-soo (Choi Dae-hoon), heightening the drama's energy.

Meanwhile, Joo Sang-wook, Son Na-eun, and Kim Sung-kyu left a strong impression with their bold acting transformations. Joo Sang-wook played Joo Kang-chan, the chairman of Juhak Construction who resolves everything with money and violence, exuding a powerful presence that contrasts sharply with Manager Kim (So Ji-sub) and froze the atmosphere on set.

Son Na-eun played Sang-ah, a colleague at Manager Kim's company who hides a secret, showcasing various charms ranging from the bubbly demeanor of an MZ workplace peer to the mystery that sparks curiosity. Kim Sung-kyu, who played agent Kang Sung, a North Korean operative sent on a secret mission to South Korea, brought the character to life with his extraordinary deep voice and sharp expressions.

The production team stated, "We ask for your interest in 'Manager Kim,' featuring top actors including So Ji-sub, Choi Dae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Joo Sang-wook, Son Na-eun, and Kim Sung-kyu, who have gathered with brilliant acting skills and unique personalities to deliver outstanding performances."
