Actress Jeon Hye-jin has concluded her journey in the drama 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)'.

Jeon appeared as Kang Jae-kyung, a character overwhelmed by the desire to seize control of the Choi Group, in the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' (created by Kim Soon-ok / scripted by Hyun Jimin / directed by Ko Hye-jin / produced by SLL and Cooper Korea / original work by San Kyung), which concluded on the 5th.

She portrayed the light and dark sides of Kang Jae-kyung, a character who ran forward with her eyes fixed ahead to get what she wanted by any means necessary, delivering a clean performance free of superfluous elements that created deep immersion. Furthermore, through overwhelming emotional acting, she proved her presence by creating iconic scenes at every critical moment.

Her performance continued until the final episode. In 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' aired on the 5th, Jeon realistically portrayed Kang Jae-kyung's shock upon learning that her father, Kang Yong-ho (played by Son Hyun-joo), whom she thought was dead, had returned alive, maximizing the drama's tension. She stood against Yong-ho until the end to protect the chairman's seat, keeping viewers on edge without being able to look away for a moment. Eventually, when Yong-ho took an accident in place of Jae-kyung, who narrowly escaped being hit by a car, she screamed at him, spewing out both resentment and regret, meeting a tragic ending.

Through 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)', Jeon this time demonstrated her wide acting spectrum by skillfully portraying the villainous character Kang Jae-kyung with acting prowess that revealed her deep experience. With just her gaze, expressions, and energy suited to each situation, she dominated the atmosphere and stood at the center of conflict.

Earlier, Jeon's portrayal of Jae-kyung, who had lost consciousness after pressing a pillow over her father's face to prevent him from breathing in an attempt to become Choi Seong-geu-rup (Chairman), and her flustered, helpless reaction, contrasted with the look of regret that passed through her eyes at her father's funeral, where she no longer intended to kill him but would resent him forever. This expanded the complex emotional arc of the character in a compelling way.

Meanwhile, 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' is a drama depicting a re-mind life story where Choi Seong Geu-rup-ui (Chairman), a top conglomerate chairman known as the God of Business, lives an unwanted second round of life due to an accident. The series concluded successfully after breaking through a viewership rating of 13.5%.
