The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24-hour gym’ (directed by Park Jun-soo, Choi Yeon-soo/written by Kim Ji-soo), scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, April 30th at 9:50 PM, is a heart-pounding muscle growth comedy (comedy romance) about the tenacity-filled gym club manager Do Hyeon-joong as he unconventionally corrects the lives of the members who are always worried.

In the drama, Lee Jun-young plays the role of the ‘growing gym club manager Do Hyeon-joong, who went from being a world-class bodybuilder to taking over an old gym overnight. His life, told by his untouchable body, can be summarized as ‘gy’. Born smaller than a 1.5kg dumbbell, Hyun-joong, who turned his life around through exercise alone, is now the manager of a local gym and engages in a fierce survival game between the self-employed and trainers.

In the meantime, a still cut that gives a glimpse into Lee Jun-young‘s Do Hyun-joong character was released on the 19th (today). Lee Jun-young leaves a strong first impression with his surprising transformation and explosive dependability. His perfect transformation into a gym trainer arouses interest by revealing a charm that is 180 degrees different from the usual Lee Jun-young.

He also looks at the members with sharp eyes and sometimes makes a passionate expression to encourage the members, and his diverse appearances fully capture the personality of Manager Do Hyun-joong, who is more sincere than anyone else about working out. Lee Jun-young, who has become a fitness enthusiast, aka ‘Health Crazy’, is already making people laugh.

Lee Jun-young, a popular actor who left an impact with just a few stills, plans to fully display his new charm through the gritty ‘Gi-seung-jeon-geun(筋)’ Health Crazy Manager Do Hyeon-joong. Expectations are high for how Lee Jun-young, who has shown an irreplaceable presence in numerous works, will portray a new character full of wit who goes back and forth between comedy and seriousness.

The production team said, “Actor Lee Jun-young worked out in his spare time and immersed himself in the script to do his best to become Manager Do Hyeon-joong despite his busy schedule. In particular, the character of Do Hyeon-joong interpreted by actor Lee Jun-young was very interesting, and he completed it with his own unique color.
