‘Rookie 3’ returns with even stronger camaraderie.

Genie TV original drama ‘Rookie 3’ (directed by Min Jin-ki and Jo Je-wook, written by Yoon Ki-young and Kang Go-eun, original work by Jang Bbi-jju, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by A2Z Entertainment and Story Island) released behind-the-scenes cuts filled with fun both on and off camera on the 1st.

‘Rookie’ is a series that has been greatly loved across all genders and generations for its passionate acting by actors who maximized the reality of their unique characters, and its exquisite blend of cheerful comedy and realistic empathy.

‘Rookie 3’, which has returned with a third story amidst heated expectations, depicts the Shinwha Unit on alert due to the transfer of two unpredictable rookies and the return of an unprecedented villain, as well as Park Min-seok‘s (played by Kim Min-ho) military life that becomes increasingly difficult before his promotion to corporal.

The ’new recruits‘ Kim Min-ho, Nam Tae-woo, Lee Sang-jin, Jo Jin-se, Lee Chung-goo, Kim Hyun-gyu, Lee Jung-hyun, Jeon Seung-hoon, and Lee Soo-ji once again carry the show with their evolved(?) military life cheat keys. The activities of the hotly anticipated ’new faces‘ Kim Dong-jun, Oh Dae-hwan, and Kim Yo-han are also drawing attention.

In particular, the collaboration between director Min Jin-ki, who pioneered the ’military content‘ genre that broke down the barriers between dramas and entertainment, and comedy master writer Yoon Ki-young is making drama fans even more excited.

Meanwhile, the behind-the-scenes cuts that were revealed capture the actors’ appearances boasting a camaraderie that has grown stronger as their ‘jam-ba’ has grown, drawing attention. Kim Min-ho, who gives off a completely different vibe from Park Min-seok, who has the nickname ‘Pyeop-geup’. His monitoring is incredibly serious.

Nam Tae-woo, who gives a bright thumbs-up, and Jeon Seung-hoon and Lee Soo-ji, who are smiling brightly, also capture attention with a charm different from their characters. Meanwhile, Lee Sang-jin, Oh Dae-hwan, Jo Jin-se, and Kang Hyo-seung show off their unexpected loveliness by making V signs. Their bright smiles together hint at the warm atmosphere on set.

The new faces are also completely immersed in passionate mode to capture the viewers‘ laughter. Kim Dong-jun, who has transformed into the ‘Nation’s Spoon’ Global, does not stop monitoring even during breaks. Kim Yo-han, who plays Park Min-seok‘s retired successor Moon Bit-na-ri, also shows great concentration during rehearsals. The return of the Laughter Special Forces makes viewers curious about what kind of performance they will show this time, and the story of those who will captivate viewers with military content that is more real than reality.

The production team of ‘Rookies 3’ said, “‘Rookies’ will present laughter on a different level with upgraded camaraderie. The story, enriched by the performance of the new faces, will unfold in another enjoyable way,” raising expectations.
