'Shinbyeong 4: Sabotage' returns with an even richer storyline.

The new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Shinbyeong 4: Sabotage' (script by Yoon Ki-young, directed by Min Jin-gi), airing on the 24th, depicts the second half of a dynamic military life as Private First Class Park Min-seok (played by Kim Min-ho), whose rank has risen and worries have multiplied, returns to the ranks alongside Corporal Choi Il-gu (played by Nam Tae-woo) who has come back as a corporal, along with a mysterious new recruit and the appearance of a battalion commander who will stir up a storm.

Director Min Jin-gi, who successfully led the 'Shinbyeong' seasons, said, "After going through three turbulent seasons until Private First Class Park Min-seok was promoted to Private First Class, we finally reached Season 4, and I would like to thank viewers for their support." He added, "We will strive to provide clean laughter in this season as well."

'Shinbyeong 4: Sabotage' is produced with the longest number of episodes among all previous seasons, presenting an even more expanded story. Director Min Jin-gi explained, "A crisis of a lifetime befalls Park Min-seok after his promotion to Private First Class, and the story unfolds with the second phase of Corporal Choi Il-gu's military service, the transfer of Battalion Commander Byun Hyuk-jin who will bring about a major transformation in the unit, and the appearance of the mysterious new recruit Kim Hyun-wook."

Especially regarding this season's subtitle 'Sabotage', he stated, "We pondered how 'sabotage' occurs within the military and how it can be overcome, and how 'Shinbyeong' would twist and satirize such an elaborate subtitle. Ultimately, in 'Shinbyeong 4', sabotage is unpredictable."

Writer Yoon Ki-young also cited 'expansion' as the biggest change in Season 4. "Characters, units, branches, situations, and backgrounds have become much more diverse compared to previous seasons. As a result, the depiction of military life and stories we can show has become richer," he explained. Emphasizing that this season focuses even more on the growth of characters beyond just scale, Writer Yoon Ki-young added, "Due to various events and situations occurring in the military, the organization is shaken and faces a crisis. This is a story about members overcoming that crisis together. I wanted to show how each character grows amidst the crisis."

Changes were also made in direction commensurate with the expanded scale. Director Min Jin-gi said, "This season aims to incorporate sitcom-like events and resolutions, along with humanism, within various situations that could actually occur in the military. It will be a season where existing viewers, as well as those encountering 'Shinbyeong' for the first time, can naturally laugh and empathize." Additionally, diverse military episodes such as national defense training and civil support were depicted with even greater realism. Director Min Jin-gi stated, "Military themes are endless, but the process of reorganizing them into stories suitable for drama is most important. Through a process where writers from active duty and reserve backgrounds, along with a production team with diverse perspectives, jointly discover and verify material, we were able to complete 'Shinbyeong's' unique hyper-realism and life-centered fantasy."

Finally, Director Min Jin-gi said, "Thank you for waiting so long. Like a summer rain that cools the scorching sun, or like chimaek that helps forget Monday blues, we will repay with big laughter," urging expectations for Season 4. Writer Yoon Ki-young also remarked, "If you watch closely the growth story of Private First Class Park Min-seok and the military life of the Myth Unit 'Shinbyeongz', you will not only enjoy laughter and fun but also find various stories about human life interesting." He added, "Please continue to enjoy 'Shinbyeong 4: Sabotage' until the end."

Meanwhile, 'Shinbyeong 4: Sabotage' will premiere on the 24th at 10 p.m.
