On July 1, MBC confirmed that Kim Shin Rok will be part of the cast for its new Friday-Saturday drama “Undercover High School” (working title). Seo Kang Joon and Jin Ki Joo were previously confirmed for the drama.
“Undercover High School” follows Jung Hae Sung (Seo Kang Joon), an undercover National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent posing as a high school student. As he balances school life, he builds solidarity and bonds with his classmates and becomes entangled with Oh Soo Ah (Jin Ki Joo), a substitute Korean history teacher and his homeroom teacher. The drama is written by Im Young Bin, known for “Bad Prosecutor.”
Kim Shin Rok will star as Seo Myung Joo, the head of Byung Moon Foundation and the elite private Byung Moon High School. Seo Myung Joo is a meticulous and strategic character, driven by an obsession with being the best.
Kim Shin Rok will also star as the archnemesis of National Intelligence Service agent Jung Hae Sung. Her rivalry with Seo Kang Joon’s character is set to add excitement and create strong on-screen chemistry, making their interactions highly anticipated.
The executive producer expressed excitement about Kim Shin Rok playing Seo Myung Joo, saying, “We are thrilled to have Kim Shin Rok as the foundation’s chairwoman. Her upcoming work is expected to surpass her past performances. Her character’s rivalry with Hae Sung and Soo Ah is sure to boost the drama’s appeal.”
