Being a community hero has an expiry date. New stills from JTBC’s hit crime-comedy The Apartment Job show Ji Sung surrounded by furious residents, just episodes after being hailed as their “heating bill martyr.” Turns out, saving your apartment complex once doesn’t buy you unlimited goodwill.
What’s Happening In The Next Episode
Ji Sung plays Park Hae Kang, a former gang boss who runs for resident council president to steal a hidden reserve fund — only to end up genuinely fighting corruption instead. After exposing a heating-bill scam, the story took a sharp turn when he offered to become the villain Lee Choong Won’s right-hand man. Now, in the new stills, angry residents storm the management office demanding answers, and when Park Hae Kang steps in to face them, the mob’s fury turns entirely on him.

Why This Twist Works
What makes Park Hae Kang compelling is that he never stops being a little bit of a con man, even while doing the right thing — so watching the very residents he saved turn on him doesn’t feel unfair, it feels earned. The production team has teased “explosive tension” as he faces this collective backlash, keeping his unpredictable arc firmly in con-artist-turned-reluctant-hero territory.
