Joo Sang Wook's First Villain Role Ever

Actor Joo Sang-wook is taking on his first villain role since his debut. He has been cast as Joo Kang-chan, the CEO of a construction company who is a former mob enforcer, in the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Chief Kim'. Joo Kang-chan is a ruthless ambitious man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He is an absolute power figure who overwhelms those around him with his cruelty, reminiscent of a sociopath at times, and unpredictable actions. Joo Sang-wook plans to enhance the character's persuasiveness by adding a chilling cynicism and sharp charisma to his signature deep gaze.

Joo Kang-chan is a character who is endlessly cruel to others but shows himself to be an exceptionally affectionate father in front of his daughter, Joo Hye-ri (played by Yoo Ji-an), possessing a multidimensional charm where good and evil coexist. Joo Sang-wook is expected to play a key role in driving the drama's tension by delicately portraying Joo Kang-chan's complex inner self.

This project is drawing anticipation for being a 'bold transformation' that completely overturns Joo Sang-wook's existing image. Joo Sang-wook, who has built a solid filmography by portraying everything from gentlemanly and gentle 'CEOs' to strong-willed charisma and deep melodramas across screens and television, announces the birth of an unprecedented, ruthless villain through 'Chief Kim'.

The released still cuts show burn scars covering his entire body, a chilling gaze, and an unapproachable aura, hinting at Joo Kang-chan's desperate life and dangerous nature. The rough visuals and heavy presence, unseen in Joo Sang-wook before, immediately captivate the eye.

'Chief Kim' is receiving even more attention as it is Joo Sang-wook's first villain role since his debut. While he has showcased intelligent and trustworthy characters in his previous works, he has now perfectly transformed into a ruthless villain who manipulates the world with money and violence.
