The Coupang Play series 'Workin' On It 2' is once again garnering attention for its unique narrative experiment that goes beyond workplace comedy, blending reality and fiction. The distinctive setting, which transcends reality and fiction, has resonated with many office workers, topping the popularity charts.

Season 2 has become a hot topic, especially with the special appearance of Go grandmaster Lee Se-dol. Lee Se-dol, who visited DY Planning to give a lecture on 'How Office Workers Should Deal with AI,' added fresh fun to the drama with his surprising agility and humanistic charm amidst an unexpected combination. In particular, the unpredictable ad-lib exchanges with actors Jo Yeo-jeong and Jeong Seong-il were considered the highlight of the series.

While he skillfully responded to Kim Won-hoon's sharp ad-libs, his humble demeanor in front of Shim Ja-yoon and his bright smile during a video call with Oh My Girl's Hyo-jung revealed new facets of Lee Se-dol as a person. Furthermore, Baek Hyun-jin, who joined through his acquaintance with CEO Shin Dong-yup, perfectly portrayed a realistic boss figure, heightening the drama's tension.

Go grandmaster Lee Se-dol gained global fame through his historic match against AlphaGo in 2016. Even after his retirement, he continues to connect with the public through various broadcasting activities and lectures. He recently showcased his intellectual charm on the tvN variety show 'Baduk-meori'.
