The Drama’s Core Story
Agent Kim Reactivated is an action-revenge drama that follows Manager Kim (So Ji Sub), an ordinary father who becomes the world’s most dangerous man in order to save his beloved daughter.
It’s the classic “sleeping giant awakens” premise done the Korean way — and with So Ji Sub leading the charge, expectations are sky high.
Choi Dae Hoon’s Character: A Man of Contrasts
Choi Dae Hoon stars as Sung Han Soo, a former national taekwondo gold medalist and secret agent who now runs a neighbourhood taekwondo studio. In the newly released stills, he appears warmly guiding young students with a gentle expression, while another image inside the studio shows his glory days — proudly waving the Korean flag after winning gold.
The contrast is everything. A champion reduced to a quiet life. A weapon in a white dobok. Once hailed as an “exceptional talent” for his overwhelming skills, Sung Han Soo becomes entangled with Manager Kim, awakening the martial artist instincts that had long been buried within him.
This is exactly what great taekwondo drama looks like — not just the sport as spectacle, but as identity and legacy.
What Choi Dae Hoon & the Team Are Saying
The actor described his character with the playful phrase “sharp, prickly, and soft-hearted all at once,” hinting at Sung Han Soo’s layered charm and dynamic personality. He added that all of the staff and actors worked incredibly hard for this moment, and he was choosing to look forward to the premiere with excitement rather than worry.
The production team matched his energy.
