Lee Jong-suk is returning with his next work.

He will dive into the realistic lives of lawyers in the new tvN drama ‘Seocho-dong‘, scheduled to air next year. Following his spectacular role as a lawyer in the previous drama ‘Big Mouth’, he is drawing attention once again with his role as a lawyer.

‘Seocho-dong’ is a cheerful and passionate youth drama about associate lawyers (short for the English name for an associate lawyer employed by a law firm) who go to work at the Law Town in Seocho-dong, Seoul every day.

It is a realistic story of a ‘real’ lawyer written by an actual practicing lawyer, and it will depict the growth period of lawyers who grow while handling cases that can happen in our daily lives and around us.

Lee Jong-suk plays Ahn Joo-hyung, a lawyer with 9 years of experience who is good at factual violence logic. He is a character who became a lawyer simply because he found logic and events interesting.

From the beginning, there was no ‘meaning’ that lawyers protect the weak, implement justice, and change the world. Having been a fixture at one company for 9 years without changing jobs, he boasts a high level of work that matches his seniority.

In particular, expectations are high for Lee Jong-suk‘s acting transformation as he takes on the role of a lawyer again following his previous work.
