• Joins Coupang Play Variety 'Office Workers 3'

Broadcast personality Kang Ji-young, formerly an announcer at JTBC, is taking on a role in an office comedy. She is set to join as a new member of 'Office Workers' Season 3.

According to StarNews reporting on the 21st, Kang Ji-young will be added as a new cast member to Coupang Play's original variety show 'Office Workers' Season 3. About one year after resigning from JTBC in April last year and transitioning to freelance work, she is once again transforming into an 'office worker' and taking on an office comedy.

'Office Workers' is an office comedy that humorously portrays the psychological battles between office workers and celebrity clients at DY Planning, a struggling small marketing company. The show has received praise since Season 1 for its relatable depiction of corporate life and the actors' ad-libbed performances.

In Season 1, which was released in February last year, Shin Dong-yup as the CEO of DY Planning, along with Kim Min-kyo (section chief), Lee Soo-ji (manager), Hyun Bong-sik (assistant manager), Kim Won-hoon (team leader), Ji Ye-eun (staff), Cha Jeong-won (staff), and STAYC's Yoon (intern) played realistic office workers, delivering humorous laughter.

In Season 2, released about four months later, actor Baek Hyeon-jin-i (Director) joined the cast in a new role, showcasing unique chemistry with the existing members. With Kang Ji-young joining as a fresh face for Season 3, attention is focused on what character she will portray.

Kang Ji-young first gained recognition through MBC's 'Our Daytime - New Employee' in 2011 and joined JTBC as a special recruit announcer that same year. She later became active across various genres including current affairs, educational programs, and variety shows such as JTBC's 'Political Department Meeting', 'Sseoljeon Live', 'Class Difference', and 'Extreme Tour'. Notably, she showcased her presence through sincere interviews as the sole weekend anchor of JTBC's 'Newsroom'.

After leaving JTBC last year, she quickly expanded her activity range. She appeared in Netflix's 'Devil's Plan: Death Room', JTBC's 'Lecture Battle Show Swindlers', KBS 2TV's 'Problem Children in the Attic', and MBC's 'Radio Star', establishing herself as a freelance broadcast personality. In January this year, she signed an exclusive contract with T&N Entertainment, which includes popular variety stars such as Lee Young-ja, Kim Sook, and Hong Jin-kyung, marking the beginning of her full-fledged variety career.

In particular, Kang Ji-young's joining 'Office Workers' Season 3 is significant as it marks her first challenge in an office comedy since resigning from JTBC. Expectations are high that she will display a different charm compared to the intellectual image she presented on news and current affairs programs.

'Office Workers' Season 3, with Kang Ji-young joining the cast, is scheduled for release in August.
