Lee Je-hoon, Kim Dae-myung, Ahn Hyun-ho, and Cha Kang-yoon are uniting as a team.

The production team of JTBC‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Art of Negotiation’ (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Lee Seung-young) released the M&A team of Sanin Group, consisting of Yoon Joo-no (played by Lee Je-hoon), Oh Soon-young (played by Kim Dae-myung), Kwak Min-jung (played by Ahn Hyun-ho), and Choi Jin-soo (played by Cha Kang-yoon), who work together as one mind and purpose, on the 19th.

Yoon Joo-no is called by Sanin Group Chairman Song Jae-sik (played by Sung Dong-il) and becomes the team leader of the M&A team in order to pay off the massive debt of 11 trillion won. Next, with negotiation expert lawyer Oh Soon-young at the helm, finance manager Kwak Min-jung, and intern Choi Jin-soo, the M&A team with a solid balance will begin full-scale negotiations.

In particular, the synergy between the four members of the M&A team, Yoon Joo-no, Oh Soon-young, Kwak Min-jung, and Choi Jin-soo, is highly anticipated as each member has outstanding abilities. Yoon Joo-no is in charge of thorough analysis and cool-headed judgment, to the point that he is rumored to be a white snake because he thinks of a hundred things when negotiating.


Oh Soon-young, who has excellent empathy, has the insight to quickly and accurately see through the intentions of her negotiation counterparts and serves as a buffer zone to relieve the team’s tense atmosphere. From Kwak Min-jeong, who uses her natural memory and mental calculation skills to accurately calculate the interests between companies, to Choi Jin-soo, who views negotiations with a fresh perspective typical of the MZ generation, attention is focused on the results that the unique M&A team members will achieve together.

The photos released by the production team give a glimpse into the work life of the M&A team members. They investigate each company‘s financial statements and visit negotiation partners in person to seek common ground. Attention is focused on whether the M&A team will be able to resolve the 11 trillion won in debt and save the Sanin Group through M&A, which is called the ‘Essence of Capitalism’.

The acting chemistry of the four actors who have come together as M&A team members is also anticipated. What kind of synergy will there be between Lee Je-hoon, Kim Dae-myung, Ahn Hyun-ho, and Cha Kang-yoon?

‘The Art of Negotiation’ will first air on March 8th at 10:30 PM.
