She believed that a stable profit leads to a steady life and that poverty is corrosive to love. She collaborates with the succeeding Public Prosecutor General and comes to blows against Sung Jin Group.
Kim Kang Woo as Soo Ae’s husband
On the other hand, Kim Kang Woo will portray Yoon Jae Hee’s husband, Jung Joon Hyuk. He possesses a hidden inferiority complex over being labeled as the “illegitimate son of Sung Jin Group” for his entire life even though he is a famous anchorman with his fan club.
He chuckles to both ambitious people and those pretending to have no ambitions as he marks time waiting for the day when he could seize the reins of power.
The new drama Gong Jak City is written by Son Se Dong and will be helmed by Director Jeon Chang Geun, who is known for his distinctive touch on the shows like Mystic Pop-Up Bar and The Package.
Gong Jak City sets to premiere sometime in the second half of 2021.
