In 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)', Jeon Hye-jin and Jin-gu will clash over the title of heir to the Choi Sung Group.

JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' (creator Kim Soon-ok, screenplay by Hyun Jimin, directed by Ko Hye-jin) is a reimagined life story about the head of a major conglomerate, Choi Seong Geu-rup-ui (Chairman) Kang Yong-ho (played by Son Hyun-joo), who is known as the god of business and finds himself living an unwanted second life due to an accident.

As Choi Choi Seong-geu-rup (Chairman) Kang Jae-kyung (played by Jeon Hye-jin) and her brother Kang Jae-sung (played by Jin-gu) are set to fiercely compete for the heir position of Kang Yong-ho, the production team is hinting at their contrasting performances, sparking curiosity.

First, Choi Sung Group affiliate Choi Seong Hwa-hak-ui (President) Kang Jae-kyung is a person with an intense competitive spirit and possessiveness, showing an unusual obsession with Choi. With bold action and relentless drive, once she sets her sights on something or someone, she will get her hands on it no matter what. She also possesses a sharp, unblinking determination, and even after Kang Yong-ho's sudden accident, she remains completely unfazed and moves to take control of the Choi Sung Group.

In contrast, unlike Kang Jae-kyung, Kang Jae-sung has a modest demeanor but holds onto the Choi Seong-mul-san (President) position, one of the core affiliates, solely due to his title as the eldest son. Having been constantly compared to Kang Jae-kyung since childhood, Kang Jae-sung harbors deep inferiority complexes. As the eldest son of Kang Yong-ho, he uses his accumulated network of connections and the solid support from his wife's family as weapons to vigorously shake up Kang Jae-kyung.

Thus, despite being twins, the two characters' distinct natures are fully revealed in the stills released on the 4th. Kang Jae-kyung maintains a poker face and exudes elegance wherever she is, while Kang Jae-sung openly displays his emotions from his facial expressions, suggesting a stark contrast in their management styles.

With Kang Jae-kyung pushing forward with her natural momentum and Kang Jae-sung leveraging his status as the eldest son, curiosity grows over who will ultimately inherit the succession. The actors themselves deliver the decisive moves unique to their respective characters, Kang Jae-kyung and Kang Jae-sung, further heightening interest.

Jeon Hye-jin stated, "The strength of the Kang Jae-kyung character lies in her drive and passion to finish and resolve things no matter what," adding, "However, she does not hesitate to use any means necessary," previewing her powerful charisma.

Jin-gu remarked, "Kang Jae-sung's decisive move lies in the human side hidden behind his carelessness," and added, "As time passes, Kang Jae-sung's humanity will exert unexpected power and shake up the situation, so we ask for your great anticipation and interest in the development of 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)'."

The first episode of 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' will air on May 30 at 10:40 p.m.
