Lee Jun-hyuk, Seo Hyun-woo, and Oh Dae-hwan have joined forces.

They will appear in the TVING drama ‘Lotto Winner Also Goes to Work’ scheduled to air next year.

The drama is based on a web novel of the same name, and is about an office worker named Gong Eun-tae(Lee Jun-hyuk), who has lived an honest and flawless life, and then goes to work with a different attitude than yesterday after winning first prize in the lottery.

‘1.3 billion’ is a little short of dramatically changing one’s life.The story of an ordinary office worker who thought nothing would change but eventually changed everything on his own presents deep empathy with pleasant laughter.In addition, director Yoon Young-bin, who showed outstanding directing skills through the movie ‘Gangneung’ based on the popular web novel of the same name, is in charge of directing, raising expectations.
The meeting of trustworthy actors who will complete the office scenery with 200% realism makes drama fans even more excited.
Lee Jun-hyuk takes on the role of Gong Eun-tae, the head of Sales Team 5 at Hongseong International, who has lived his entire life fiercely in order to live a normal and peaceful life.He sets out to renew his life character once again.

Gong Eun-tae, who was in a slump because he realized that all that would remain at the end of his hard-working life was ‘boredom’, gradually changes his attitude towards life when he wins first prize in the lottery.It makes one wonder how Gong Eun-tae’s realistic and empathetic growth story will unfold as he goes to work every day without fail, using his winning lottery as mental insurance.
Lee Joon-hyuk said, “When I first read the script, I talked to a friend who works at a company.It’s a story about office workers getting along with each other.I thought that this work could soothe the hearts of office workers,” and “I think I’ll be able to have fun working with actors Seo Hyun-woo and Oh Dae-hwan.Please look forward to it.”

Seo Hyun-woo plays the role of Yang Jun-ho, a problematic team member of Gong Eun-tae and the head of Sales Team 5.

A character who has gone through a harsh period of denial about reality where he is gradually losing interest after his golden 20s when he was on a roll.When his successor, Gong Eun-tae, was promoted to team leader a year later, he fell from grace and became a problematic team member, but he is learning how to face reality and provide support.

Seo Hyun-woo said, “What if the moment of winning the lottery, which everyone dreams of at least once, suddenly comes to an ordinary office worker? I was drawn into the interesting subject matter and the realistic and delicate development of the story,” and added, “I want to fully convey the interesting emotions that I felt to the viewers.Please look forward to the tiki-taka with actor Lee Joon-hyuk and the ensemble of the actors.”

Oh Dae-hwan transforms into ‘Jeong Seon-hyeok’, the team leader of the 4th neighborhood book sales team at Hongseong International.

A character who has lived a life of uprightness to the point of being old-fashioned, but has been faced with the harsh reality of failing to get promoted time after time.Realizing that human relationships are more important than ability, he decides to become an opportunist to protect himself.

Oh Dae-hwan said, “I’m really happy to be appearing in ‘Lotto Winner Goes to Work’.I’m so happy and grateful to be working with the director, actors, and production staff I’ve worked with before on another project,” and raised expectations by saying, “This project has a good message.I want to do my best and stand before the viewers with a good result.”
