Actor Ji Sung Surpass ENT

Actor Ji Sung announced on the 19th that he has been confirmed to star in JTBC new weekend drama ‘Apartment’.

In ‘Apartment’, which is set to continue the hit run of ‘Connection’ and ‘Judge Lee Han-Young’, Ji Sung will return to the small screen in the second half of the year as Park Hae-gang, a former boss of the Oasis faction known as a bulldozer who is reborn as a down-to-earth everyday hero.

Ji Sung has finalized his appearance in JTBC new weekend drama ‘Apartment’ (script by Kim Yoon-young, directed by Cho Yong-won, produced by SLL·Red Nine Pictures㈜) and is expected to carry on the success of his previous works.

Anticipation is high for a new transformation from Ji Sung in ‘Apartment’, a slice-of-life human drama that follows Park Hae-gang, a former Oasis faction boss who runs for residents representative council chair to seize unaccounted funds hidden in the apartment complex, as he joins forces with residents to root out corruption.

Ji Sung will appear as the lead, Park Hae-gang, who will deliver ‘triple-thrill exploits’ that are fun, refreshing, and exhilarating, meeting viewers in the second half of the year. In the drama, Park Hae-gang is a legend who maintained a 0% rate of uncollected debts and a former boss of the Oasis faction. While dreaming of a bigger big score(?) and scraping together everything down to his soul, he learns about unaccounted funds in the apartment complex. As he moves to claim this blind money in the apartment, the unexpected process by which he transforms into an everyday hero is expected to offer viewers plenty of enjoyment.

Attention is focused on whether Ji Sung will crack a third consecutive ratings home run. Recently, through the two dramas ‘Connection’ and ‘Judge Lee Han-Young’, he swept ratings and buzz, reaffirming his value as an actor

In ‘Connection’, he perfectly embodied an ace narcotics detective who is forcibly addicted to drugs. His performance, which vividly portrayed extreme hallucinations and severe withdrawal experienced by the character, even gave birth to the neologism known as the so-called ‘drug-laced performance’. Through this, Ji Sung further solidified a trusted on-screen presence.

Meanwhile, in ‘Judge Lee Han-Young’, he captivated many by delivering cathartic satisfaction. Making his small-screen entry as a judge who enacts justice in a second life newly gained, Ji Sung not only consistently maintained double-digit ratings but also ranked near the top of buzz charts.

He convincingly depicted the process of realizing justice in his own way, increasing the density of the narrative. His solid acting craft and deft control of tempo once again shone, holding firm at the center of the whirlwind plot.

Curiosity continues to grow about the cheerful side of Ji Sung that will be newly revealed in ‘Apartment’. Rather than the intense, charismatic image shown in previous works, his different transformation that will draw laughs seems likely to further amplify the fun of the story. Interest is gathering in his path as he once again delivers a stylish, intense performance and a weighty presence.

JTBC ‘Apartment’, starring Ji Sung, will premiere this July.
