Go Soo is flustered when Kim Min Jae appears at the parole hearing.

In episode 7 of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Parole Examiner Lee Han Shin’ (directed by Yoon Sang Ho, written by Park Chi Hyung), which aired on the 9th, the unfortunate story of inmate Heo Eun Ji (played by Hwang Se In) who gave birth to a baby in prison and is raising it was depicted. Lee Han Shin (played by Go Soo) provided both material and spiritual support to Heo Eun Ji, who will have to give the baby up for adoption if she is not released on parole.

Heo Eun Ji got a Korean cuisine chef‘s license to prove that she can work after being released on parole, and Choi Hwa Ran (played by Baek Ji Won) became her guardian, making thorough preparations for her as she does not have a family. However, despite these preparations, Lee Han Shin encounters an obstacle during Heo Eun Ji’s parole hearing that he never expected.

Ahead of the 8th episode airing on the 10th, the production team released still cuts of Heo Eun-ji‘s parole hearing. The new parole judge Seo Dong-hoon (played by Kim Min-jae) is there, drawing attention. Seo Dong-hoon takes her place after Kim Nae-kyung (played by Kim Hye-hwa), who had been trading a conditional parole spot for money.

In the photo, Lee Han-shin is looking at the uninvited guest Seo Dong-hoon with anxious eyes. Seo Dong-hoon is a lawyer from the legal team of Oh Jung Group, and he had a fierce confrontation with Lee Han-shin over Ji Dong-man’s (played by Song Young-chang) parole. Lee Han-shin is nervous that Seo Dong-hoon will interfere with Heo Eun-ji‘s parole in order to get revenge on him.


In the following photo, Lee Han-shin is seen standing next to Heo Eun-ji during the parole hearing and actively defending her. However, Seo Dong-hoon is also not shy and stands next to Heo Eun-ji and says something. Lee Han-shin’s serious expression is drawing attention to what happened at Heo Eun-ji‘s parole hearing.

The production team said, “Lee Han-shin, who had been using the ’parole hearing‘ as a way to implement justice, gets caught up in the ’parole hearing‘.” They continued, “We wonder how Lee Han-shin will overcome this crisis and whether Heo Eun-ji will be able to be judged eligible for parole and be released. Please wait for the 8th episode of ’Lee Han-shin.‘”

The show airs at 8:50 p.m. on the 10th.
