Actor Kim Soo-gyeom is showcasing a completely different charm from his previous roles in the JTBC weekend drama 'A Story of Mr. Kim Working at a Large Corporation' (hereinafter referred to as 'Mr. Kim').

Since its premiere on the 25th of last month, Kim Soo-gyeom has been actively portraying Jeong-hwan, the CEO of the startup 'Jealousy is My Strength' in 'Mr. Kim'. The drama tells the story of a middle-aged man, Kim Nak-su (played by Ryu Seung-ryong), who rediscovers his true self after a long journey.

In the play, Jeong-hwan is a character who proposes the position of Chief Destruction Officer (CDO) at his startup 'Jealousy is My Strength' to Su-gyeom (played by Cha Kang-yoon), Kim Nak-su's son. This offer marks a new turning point in Su-gyeom's life. Kim Soo-gyeom perfectly embodied Jeong-hwan's appeal, displaying a free-spirited yet subtly charismatic presence.

Notably, during his first encounter with Su-gyeom, Jeong-hwan provocatively asked, "I'm just asking because my intuition tells me, but your father is a regular office worker, right? You live in a house owned by your parents in Seoul, and you live in Seocho, Gangnam, don't you?" His confident demeanor and sharp dialogue immediately seized control of the scene's atmosphere.

Having left a strong impression as Yeong-bin, a bully to Yeon Si-eun (played by Park Ji-hoon) in his previous work, 'Weak Hero Class 1', Kim Soo-gyeom has transformed into a startup CEO with flexible thinking and free energy. He has solidified his presence with a completely different appeal.

Fans are looking forward to seeing Kim Soo-gyeom's future endeavors as he brings vitality to the drama with his relaxed charisma and witty delivery, breaking away from the rough image he portrayed in 'Weak Hero'.

Previously, Kim Soo-gyeom has steadily built his acting skills through appearances in 'Weak Hero Class 1', 'Duty After School', and 'Good or Bad Dong-jae', establishing himself as a rising rookie actor.

Korean netizens are reacting positively, commenting things like, "Actor Kim Soo-gyeom looks like a completely different person!", "The startup CEO role fits him so well. I'm looking forward to his future projects!", and "He's truly an actor you can trust!"
