The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim', set to premiere on June 26 (Friday), is a father-universe revenge action drama in which the 'most ordinary' dad in the world becomes the 'most dangerous' man to fight for the return of his only daughter. Adapted from the Naver webtoon of the same title, the series brings together writer Nam Dae-jung, who handled script and direction for 'A Great Wish', '30 Days', and 'First Ride', and directors Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun, who directed 'Wonderful World', 'Tracer', and 'Voice 2'.

Before the broadcast, the production team revealed So Ji-sub's appearance in 'Manager Kim'. The released scene shows the moment of being humiliated by having his collar grabbed. According to the production team, in the drama, Manager Kim (So Ji-sub), who was leaving work, had his collar grabbed by a thug.

The production team stated, "When threatened by the thug, Manager Kim lowers his gaze. In reality, he desperately acts weak to hide his existence as the number one top-ranked blacklisted fugitive. Although he lives as an ordinary employee at a small and medium-sized savings bank, please pay attention to the secret and mysterious side behind Manager Kim's glasses, who is actually a Code Name 66 North-South special agent."

Regarding the character of Kim Bu-jang he portrays, So Ji-sub introduced him through the production team as a "doting dad who loves his daughter too much" and a "mysterious figure shrouded in secrets." He added, "Although he appears as an ordinary and approachable father in daily life, he is a dual-faced character who hides secrets and a past that no one can easily approach. We hope you will follow the narrative of Manager Kim as it gradually unfolds." He also added, "I will present a work that will remain in the memories of viewers for a long time."
