“The Worst of Evil” Ji Chang Wook announces the birth of a ‘new life character’… Perfect “high intensity action and explosive emotional acting.”

“The Worst of Evil,” which was confirmed to be released on 27 September, is a crime action drama that depicts the process of policeman Joon-mo (Ji Chang Wook) infiltrating and investigating a gang in Gangnam, the center of the Korea-China-Japan drug trade, during the 1990s.

In this work, Ji Chang Wook plays Park Joon Mo, a police officer who infiltrates the Gangnam Alliance, which is at the center of the drug trade, disguised as Kwon Seung Ho to destroy the Korea-China-Japan drug cartel. In order to achieve his goal, he appears as a courageous person who shines more in the midst of a crisis, as well as a tough spirit that does not cover fire. He makes a dangerous choice to infiltrate the Gangnam Alliance to solve a case that everyone is paying attention to, and is gradually involved in the case by getting involved with Jung Ki Chul (Wi Ha Joon), the Alliance boss.

Ji Chang Wook is adding viewers’ expectations by immersively portraying the gradually changing character due to the colorful situations and emotions experienced between police officer Park Joon Mo and organizer Kwon Seung Ho.

In this particular work, Ji Chang Wook delicately depicts the complex inner changes of the character as well as the high-intensity and intense action, signaling the birth of a “new life character.”

Director Han Dong Wook said, “You will be able to see Ji Chang Wook’s very new, dark, and deep great acting that you have never seen before,” adding, “I think he will be said to be the best actor among the undercover genres.”

As such, “The Worst of Evil” will guide its audience around the world to the middle of Gangnam in the 1990s through the character Park Joon Mo, presenting a new paradigm for criminal action.

Disney+’s original series “The Worst of Evil” is drawing keen attention with all of Korea’s leading actors, including Ji Chang Wook, Wi Ha Joon and Lim Se Mi.  On top of that, expectations are rising as PD Han Dong Wook’s next drama, which debuted as a dark and hot melodrama “When a Man Loves” that all generations sympathized with after directing crime genre films such as “Unfair Trade,” “War on Crime” and “New World.” In addition, Jang Min Seok, who was well-received by the critics and the public for his screenplay that delicately depicts the psychology between characters through the movie “The Brotherhood,” which attracted 5.41 million viewers, will participate to provide another in-depth storytelling.

The most anticipated drama in the second half of the year, “The Worst of Evil” will be available only on Disney+ on 27 September, with powerful and unique actions that will make the hearts of the world beat, a story of twists and turns, and a well-made production that perfectly reproduces the 1990s.
