Get ready for a star-studded September as three legendary actresses, Ko Hyun-jung, Jun Ji-hyun, and Lee Young-ae, are set to grace the small screen with their highly anticipated comebacks. These powerhouses, known for captivating audiences across generations, are returning within the same month, creating immense buzz and anticipation in the broadcasting industry.

Leading the charge is Ko Hyun-jung, who returned on September 5th in the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Scorpion: The Murderer's Outing.' In this gripping series, she portrays Jeong Yi-shin, a serial killer dubbed 'The Scorpion' who brutally murdered five men twenty years ago. The story reignites when a copycat killer emerges 23 years later, echoing her past crimes and drawing her son, detective Cha Su-yeol, into a dark investigation.

Following closely is Jun Ji-hyun, making her comeback on September 10th with the Disney+ original series 'Polaris.' She stars as Seo Moon-joo, a UN ambassador and idealist dedicated to peace, whose life takes a dramatic turn after witnessing the shooting of a presidential candidate. Alongside enigmatic special agent San Ho (Kang Dong-won), she delves into the conspiracy behind the incident, where national truths clash with personal convictions.

Rounding out this stellar lineup is Lee Young-ae, who will meet viewers on September 20th in the KBS2 Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'A Good Day for Eun-soo.' This marks her return to KBS dramas after 26 years since her appearance in 'Invitation' in 1999. The drama follows Kang Eun-soo, an ordinary housewife, who ventures into a forbidden world to protect her family after unexpectedly encountering a bag of drugs that shatters her life.

With diverse genres and compelling characters, these three legendary actresses are poised to redefine the drama landscape this September, promising unforgettable performances and reigniting the Hallyu wave.

Ko Hyun-jung, a celebrated actress since her 1989 debut, has consistently delivered powerful performances in hit dramas like 'Sandglass,' 'Daemul,' and 'Dear My Friends.' She is renowned for her ability to transform into diverse characters, earning widespread acclaim. In 'The Scorpion: The Murderer's Outing,' she takes on a daring role as an antagonist, signaling another significant evolution in her career.
