Jung Il-woo Embarks on a Secret Tail: What Lies Behind the Trio's Growing Closeness?

Actor Jung Il-woo is stepping into the shoes of a detective in the upcoming episodes of 'The Midnight Studio'.

The 15th and 16th episodes of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'The Midnight Studio' (airing Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th at 8 PM KST) will see Lee Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo) grow suspicious of the increasingly close bond between Ji Eun-oh (Jung In-sun), Park Sung-jae (Yoon Hyun-min), and Oh Soo-jung (Lim Young-joo).

After a period of absence, Ji-hyuk returned to find his friends had become unusually chummy without him. He starts to question what common ground they could possibly share. Witnessing Sung-jae's affectionate gestures towards Eun-oh, Ji-hyuk even experiences a pang of jealousy.

Newly released stills capture Ji-hyuk disguised in sunglasses, secretly tailing the trio. Unaware they are being followed, Eun-oh, Sung-jae, and Soo-jung appear to be enjoying themselves as they head to an undisclosed location. Ji-hyuk's expression as he trails them reveals a mix of curiosity and determination to uncover their secret.

In another scene, Eun-oh and Sung-jae are engrossed in a game at a PC bang, while Ji-hyuk observes them from a distance. The realization that their secret hideout is merely a humble PC bang brings a look of anticlimax to his face.

Ji-hyuk's decision to secretly follow them, fueled by his feelings of being left out and his jealousy over Eun-oh and Sung-jae's relationship, is set to stir up the dynamics of their complex love triangle. Episode 15 of 'The Midnight Studio' airs this Saturday at 8 PM KST.

Jung Il-woo first gained recognition for his role in the sitcom 'High Kick!' and has since starred in numerous popular dramas including 'The Moon Embracing the Sun' and 'Cinderella with Four Knights'. He is known for his versatile acting, portraying a wide range of characters with distinct charms. His recent role in 'The Good Bad Mother' also garnered significant attention for its emotional depth.
