Actors Lee Mi-do and Lee Seung-woo meet as employees of the ‘24-Hour Gym’, which operates 365 days a year.

The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24-Hour Gym’ (directed by Park Jun-soo and 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 romance that unfolds as the gritty gym manager Do Hyeon-joong unconventionally corrects the lives of the members of the gym who are always worried. Director Park Jun-soo of ‘Gaussian Electronics’, ‘The God of Music’, and writer Kim Ji-soo of ‘Postpartum Care Center’, have joined forces. Here, popular actors Lee Jun-young and Jung Eun-ji are also joining, garnering heated interest even before the broadcast.

Among them, stills of Lee Mi-do and Lee Seung-woo, who have perfectly transformed into health trainers, were released on the 28th (today). The two people‘s solid and strong bodies, which have been trained even more for their characters, are already causing many people to become overly immersed.

Lee Mi-do exudes a different charm through the role of Rosa, a health club employee. Rosa, who has a unique way with words, is the gym’s regular who skillfully deals with difficult members, and gets into trouble with Do Hyeon-joong (played by Lee Jun-young), the second manager of the ‘24-hour health club’, who considers her an uninvited guest. Born with a healthy ‘muscle spoon’ body, Lee Mi-do created Rosa in her own way. After her casting was confirmed, she began exercising and dieting in earnest, acquiring the energy of the character, and even tried a short hairstyle to bring out Rosa‘s individuality. It is said that he constantly researched to naturally capture Rosa’s attitude and atmosphere as well as her external changes.

Lee Seung-woo plays Alex, the gym‘s cutie and mascot. Unlike his innocent face, Alex boasts a very angry body and is nicknamed ‘Baby Muscle Man (baby face + muscular body)’. He perfectly understands the actions of the manager Hyun-joong and admires him. He will also be active as a mood maker between Hyun-joong and Rosa, who are going through conflicts. Alex’s unpredictable actions and bright smile that calms down the excited Rosa add liveliness to the play. Lee Seung-woo also worked out every single day before filming to build up his body.

People are curious to know why the two became addicted to working out, and anticipation is rising for Lee Mi-do and Lee Seung-woo‘s infinite acting transformation.

KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24-Hour Health Club’ will premiere on April 30 (Wednesday) at 9:50 PM as the follow-up to ‘Villain‘s Country’.
