Additionally, Joo Sang-wook drew attention by stating, "I will keep it a secret that the sauna scene was actually a cold pool," clarifying that the sauna scene staged in "Manager Kim" was not a hot bath but a cold one.

Joo Sang-wook is currently delivering a powerful performance as Joo Kang-chan, a construction company president who was once a loan shark gangster, in "Manager Kim."

This is his first time playing a villain.

Earlier at the production presentation for "Manager Kim," Joo Sang-wook said, "It's the first time I've played such an overtly villainous role in Navy Headquarters. That's why it seemed charming. It was fresh and fun until filming ended," sharing his thoughts on taking on the villain role. He also hinted at intense action scenes with So Ji-sub, saying, "This is the first time I've been hit so many times."

At that time, director Lee Seung-young revealed the reason for casting Joo Sang-wook as the villain Joo Kang-chan. He said, "A very large number of actors were considered. But fate led us to actor Joo Sang-wook. I can confidently say that Joo Sang-wook's acting career will be divided into before and after 'Manager Kim.' You can look forward to it."

Meanwhile, "Manager Kim" is a father universe revenge action drama about an ordinary dad who becomes the world's most dangerous man to fight for his only daughter. According to Nielsen Korea ratings collected within six episodes, the drama recorded national viewership of 22.3%, Seoul metropolitan area viewership of 23.2%, and a peak instantaneous viewership of 26.4%, breaking its own record once again.
