As Kim Ji-won’s “Doctor X” directly addresses the tragedy of the the 18th Democratic Uprising, the show’s responsible producer has shared his thoughts on the matter, drawing attention.

Previously, in Episode 6 of SBS’ Friday-Saturday drama “Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia” (hereinafter “Doctor X”), which aired on the night of the 24th, the story of patient Oh Sang-beom (played by Ha Sung-kyung), who has suffered for 46 years from gunshot wounds sustained during the the 18th Democratic Uprising, was depicted. Additionally, a scene showed Oh Sang-beom’s trauma resurfacing due to helicopter noise and lights while Joo Doo-seok Jeon (President), who had ordered the firing on citizens, was being urgently transported to the hospital.

Following the broadcast, online reactions were mixed: while the show received high praise for highlighting the historical pain of the the 18th Democratic Uprising and the suffering of its victims, criticism emerged that political views had been excessively inserted.

As unusual interest in “Doctor X” grew, Lee Ok-gyu, CP (Chief Producer) at production company Studio S, left a bold statement on social media. He drew attention by expressing his conviction with the phrase “no fear,” accompanied by a poster for “Doctor X.”

“Doctor X” is receiving explosive popularity, with Episode 6 recording a viewership rating of 19.5%. The show airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
