South Korean actor and singer Seo Kang-jun will be making a comeback to the entertainment industry after a long hiatus. On June 10, MBC confirmed that he will star in a new drama that mixes comedy and action, Soompi reported. The announcement has excited fans who have been eagerly awaiting his return. Seo Kang-jun, also known as Lee Seung-hwan, became widely known through his roles in popular shows such as “Are You Human?” and “Cheese in the Trap.” After completing his military service in May 2023, he is ready to return to acting. His first project after military service will be the drama “Undercover High School,” scheduled to air as a Friday-Saturday series on MBC in 2025.
In “Undercover High School,” Seo Kang-jun plays the role of Jeong Hae-sung. He is an ace field agent, but he ends up creating big problems during an operation and finding himself in a difficult situation. As a result, he is demoted and given a new mission to go undercover disguised as a high school student. As an agent for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), he disguises himself as a high school student. The drama is also said to be a blend of comedy and action, reports Soompi.
The story of the drama gets more interesting as the character Jeong Hae-sung begins his new life at high school. According to the storyline, as the protagonist strives to complete his mission, he forms strong bonds and emotional connections with his classmates who are unaware of his true identity. The high school where he is working undercover also has ties to Emperor Gojong's gold bars. The drama will depict how the protagonist Jeong Hae-sung juggles his secret identity as a National Intelligence Service agent with his life as a high school student.
The upcoming Korean drama “Undercover High School” is written by Lim Young Bin, who previously worked on “Bad Prosecutor.” Aside from Seo Kang Joon, Jin Ki Joo and Kim Min Joo are also reportedly in negotiations to star in the drama. It would be interesting to see their chemistry with Seo Kang Joon if they join the cast.
