SBS announced on May 22 that the production team and cast of its new Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim', which will premiere on June 26, have completed their first script reading session.

'Manager Kim' is an action-revenge drama based on the Naver webtoon of the same name. It tells the story of an ordinary father who fights to reclaim his daughter. The screenplay is written by Nam Dae-jung, known for the film '30 Days', and the series is co-directed by Lee Seung-young, who previously directed the drama 'Tracer', and Lee So-eun.

Jisub So plays Manager Kim, a former North-South intelligence agent who is now an ordinary employee at a savings bank and the father of Minji. Daehoon Choi takes on the role of Sung Hansoo, a former national taekwondo athlete and current gym director, while Kyungho Yoon plays Park Jincheol, a former soldier and the father of Dabin.

Sangwook Joo portrays Joo Kangchan, the chairman of Joo Hak Construction, who solves everything with money and violence and stands in opposition to Manager Kim. Naeun Son appears as Sangah, Manager Kim's colleague who holds a secret, and Sungkyu Kim takes on the role of Kang Sung, a North Korean agent.

Director Lee Seung-young commented, "I will do my best to make the experience of completing this project enjoyable and full of surprises."
