Lee Shin-ki Charms Audiences with Dual Success in 'Mr. Kim Story' and 'Let's Get Challenged 4'

Actor Lee Shin-ki is captivating viewers with his impressive performances in both the JTBC drama 'Mr. Kim Story' (titled 'The Tale of Manager Kim Working at a Large Corporation in Seoul') and the variety show 'Let's Get Challenged 4'.

In 'Mr. Kim Story,' which realistically portrays the lives of middle-aged Korean patriarchs, Lee Shin-ki plays Do Jin-woo, the head of ACT's Sales Team 2. Do Jin-woo is an ambitious figure who rose to a managerial position at a young age despite graduating from a junior college. He is portrayed as intelligent, diligent, and bold yet principled, standing in stark contrast to Kim Nak-su (played by Ryu Seung-ryong).

Particularly in the recent sixth episode, Lee Shin-ki showcased his acting prowess by portraying the complex character of Manager Do. He gently guided the ACT sales team after Manager Kim's departure, while simultaneously revealing a hidden, inscrutable side, all delivered with his unique charisma. This performance marked a significant departure from his intense portrayal of a killer in 'The Worst of Evil,' proving his versatility as he seamlessly embodied the elite corporate manager Do Jin-woo.

In addition to his drama success, Lee Shin-ki is also a standout player in JTBC's popular sports variety show 'Let's Get Challenged 4.' His skills, honed from his days as a professional athlete, and his leadership in encouraging teammates have been a significant asset. In the episode aired on the 9th, he scored a dramatic game-tying goal just two minutes before the end of the match against FC Captain, once again proving his status as an ace for the Lionhearts.

Lee Shin-ki's diverse talents are on full display in 'Mr. Kim Story,' airing Saturdays at 10:40 PM and Sundays at 10:30 PM, and 'Let's Get Challenged 4,' airing Sundays at 7:10 PM on JTBC.

Netizens are reacting enthusiastically, with comments like, 'Actor Lee Shin-ki's acting is truly amazing,' and 'It's incredible how he perfectly embodies such different roles,' and 'His goal-scoring in 'Let's Get Challenged 4' was so cool!'
