Ha Seon-jae Debuts as Rage-Inducing Villain in 'The Fiery Priest 3'!

Actor Ha Seon-jae has captured viewers' attention with his explosive debut as a formidable villain in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Fiery Priest 3'.

'The Fiery Priest 3', which premiered on the 21st, tells the story of Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon) and the Rainbow Taxi company seeking justice for victims. In the first two episodes, Ha Seon-jae portrayed a ruthless loan shark from an illegal private lending organization, committing chillingly wicked deeds.

He relentlessly threatened and physically assaulted Yoon Yi-seo (Cha Si-yeon), a high school student who fell into illegal loans after being deceived by a mobile game. His cruel nature was further highlighted when he offered to waive interest if she invited five friends to the game via a referral code.

Furthermore, Ha Seon-jae visited Yoon Yi-seo's grandmother's restaurant to pressure her for debt repayment. He then lured Yoon Yi-seo into human trafficking in Japan with an offer to clear her debts, showing no remorse, which ignited viewers' anger.

With his slicked-back hairstyle, menacing gaze, and clear diction, Ha Seon-jae maximized the character's cruelty, serving as the central pillar of the first episode. His portrayal of a villain, a complete 180-degree turn from his delicate performance in 'I Kill You', proves his wide acting spectrum and raises anticipation for his future endeavors.

Netizens are expressing admiration for Ha Seon-jae's impactful villain performance, commenting things like 'He looks like a real villain,' 'Looking forward to his confrontation with Lee Je-hoon,' and 'I almost changed the channel because he was so infuriating.'
