The surprising 'true identities' of the actors who played villains in 'Chamgyoyuk' have become a hot topic.

Recently released, the Netflix drama 'Chamgyoyuk' depicts the bold activities of the School Authority Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to correct schools.

In the drama, actors who played villains that provoked viewers' anger have drawn attention for their unexpected backgrounds, ranging from trot singers to actors known for heroic roles and adult actors in their 30s.

In episode 2 of 'Chamgyoyuk', the story of Gwun High School, occupied by gang-like students, was portrayed. Ok Jin-wook played Jo In-beom, a bully from the electrical department at Gwun High School, making a strong impression.

However, in reality, Ok Jin-wook is a former trot singer. He first gained recognition through TV Chosun's 'Mr. Trot' in 2020 and debuted as a member of the project group Daseotjang through MBC's 'Favorite Entertainment'.

Since then, he has expanded his acting career by appearing in dramas such as 'Dreaming While Deceived', 'Cherry Blossoms After Winter', 'Third Person Revenge', 'Running Mate', and musicals including 'The Creature', 'The Show! Silla-Gyeongju', and 'Girlfriend'.

Recently, he announced a fresh start by signing an exclusive contract with YY Entertainment, the agency of actor and singer Park Ji-hoon.

Episode 5 depicted the story of an elementary school teacher suffering from relentless complaints and pressure.

Park Ji-yeon, who played the role of Ujin's mother in the drama, realistically portrayed an overprotective parent who filed malicious complaints against the teacher.

She said, "My son's father was very angry," and drew viewers' outrage by picking at trivial issues, sending messages day and night, and even falsely accusing the homeroom teacher of 'emotional child abuse'.

However, Park Ji-yeon has previously played relatively kind characters, such as nurse Hong Jeong-ran in 'Morning Comes Even in the Psychiatric Ward' and Sung Eun-ji in 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'. In this work, she successfully transformed her image by taking on a villain role opposite her usual persona.

Episode 6 unfolded the story of juvenile offenders involved in youth crime and drug trafficking. The role of Min Ji-woong, considered the main villain of this episode, was played by Jang Yo-hoon.

Jang Yo-hoon, who portrayed a 14-year-old juvenile offender in the drama, was born in 1993 and is a 34-year-old adult actor. The significant difference between his actual age and the character's setting surprised viewers.

Jang Yo-hoon recently shared his thoughts on his role through his personal account, saying, "I entered school as an 11th-year student, and now I'm playing an 11th-year character." He added, "It feels like I'm making up for all the rebellious acts I couldn't do in my life. I'll live more kindly from now on," which drew laughter.

Just like this, the villains in 'Chamgyoyuk' provoked strong anger within the story, but outside the work, they are receiving attention for their completely different backgrounds and surprising charm.
