'Manager Kim' So Ji-sub's veil has been lifted.

'Manager Kim,' the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama (script by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun), is a father-universe revenge action drama in which a 'the most ordinary' father becomes 'the most dangerous' man to fight for his only daughter. Adapted from the Naver webtoon of the same name, the project brings together writer Nam Dae-jung, who penned films such as 'A Great Wish,' '30 Days,' and 'First Ride,' director Lee Seung-young, known for dramas like 'Wonderful World,' 'Tracer,' and 'Voice 2,' and rookie director Lee So-eun, who will deliver a fresh sensibility.

'Manager Kim's' first teaser, finally released on the 1st, begins with Manager Kim (played by So Ji-sub) appearing in a desolate setting filled only with the sound of high-heeled shoes in the dead of night. As he opens the door of a mysterious container box, his voice filled with resentment asks, "Where are you?"

Next, the extraordinary past of Manager Kim during his days as a North-South joint operation agent passes by like smoke, and the scene shows him tearing up as he listens to the heartbreaking last words of Min-ji's mother (played by Seo Su-min), who lies in a hospital bed: "Now forget everything and live as Min-ji's father."

Afterward, the drama unfolds showing Manager Kim raising his daughter Min-ji from infancy, watching her run to him calling "Daddy!" as a kindergarten student and later as a high school student whose uniform he must iron, revealing his doting father persona and capturing viewers' attention.

However, just as Min-ji's mother's plea, "Let her grow up to be a loved child," comes to an end, Min-ji's choked voice calls out, "Daddy..." Soon, the scene shows Manager Kim being grabbed by the collar in a downpour, with his daughter Min-ji fleeing somewhere, evoking a sense of foreboding. Staring blankly through the rain, Manager Kim adjusts his glasses and exudes a sense of awakening upon hearing the words, "Then are you just going to stand there and watch?"

And after the caption "The most ordinary father is coming" passes, the extraordinary transformations of ordinary fathers follow. Manager Kim, with his torn shirt revealing the scars of past operations and a clearly visible six-pack, whispers, "From now on," as Sung Han-soo (played by Choi Dae-hoon) in a taekwondo uniform assumes a determined expression, and Park Jin-cheol (played by Yoon Kyung-ho) in military attire shouts "Rock and roll!" before firing a bazooka, causing a massive explosion.

Behind Manager Kim's bloodthirsty instinct unleashed without mercy in his fury, a passionate voice exclaims, "A man who lived like a mouse for over a decade suddenly exploded, that's what I'm saying!" Along with Manager Kim's warning, "If you so much as touch a hair on my daughter's head," Park Jin-cheol joins in with bare-handed superhuman action, while Sung Han-soo adds a phantom flying kick. As the fathers' surprise action kicks in, interest in 'Manager Kim' soars.

Following this, Ju Sang-chan (played by Ju Sang-wook) with a hint of malice, Sang-a (played by Son Na-eun) with a serious expression, and secret North Korean agent Kang Seong (played by Kim Sung-kyu) appear mysteriously, stealing the spotlight. In particular, the 'Furious Nuclear Punch Ending,' where the resentful Manager Kim unleashes full power to send a hooligan flying in one blow, is showcased, foreshadowing the unparalleled catharsis of 'Manager Kim,' the 'Father Universe Revenge Action Drama.'

'Manager Kim' will premiere on the 26th at 9:50 p.m.
