Seo Kang-joon and Kim Shin-rok foreshadow a tense war of nerves.

In episode 9 of MBC‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Undercover High School’ (planned by Nam Goong Seong-woo/written by Lim Young-bin/directed by Choi Jeong-in/produced by Neo Entertainment, Slingshot Studio/hereafter ‘Underschool’), Jung Hae-sung (played by Seo Kang-joon) sets out to shoot Seo Myung-joo (played by Kim Shin-rok).

In episode 8, an incident occurred where Hae-sung and Soo-ah were investigating a corruption case in their school reports when an order to stop the operation was given. Hae-sung confused Seo Myung-joo (played by Kim Shin-rok) by telling her that he knew the fourth ghost story in order to stay at school.

In episode 9, Hae-sung heads to the chairman’s office to meet Myung-joo. The meeting between Haesung, the ace agent of the National Intelligence Service, and Myeongju, the ultimate villain who holds all the power, presents breathtaking tension.



Haesung pushes her into a corner with unexpected questions and weaknesses. However, she does not give in and confronts him resolutely. The tug-of-war between the two without giving an inch of backing down will present a twist in the drama while also increasing immersion.

In particular, Haesung takes out a mysterious USB and shoots Myeongju. One wonders what is inside it and what actions Myeongju will take as a result. Also, because of this meeting, the future developments are expected to become more complicated, so attention is focused on the outcome of that story.

Meanwhile, ‘Undercover High School’ ranked first for four consecutive weeks in TV topicality combining dramas and non-dramas in the second week of March, and also settled in second place in TV-OTT integrated topicality, drawing an enthusiastic response from viewers. Seo Kang-joon also captured viewers‘ attention by taking first place in TV-drama actor topicality for four consecutive weeks.

Episode 9 of ‘Undercover High School’ will air at 9:50 PM on the 21st (tomorrow).
