## Ji Sung’s Role: Park Hae Kang

Ji Sung plays Park Hae Kang, a former leader of the Oasis gang who finds himself in a situation where he must raise a large sum of money to save Yong Man, a father-like figure to him. To do so, he enters the election for apartment association president while also seeking to uncover corruption surrounding apartment reserve funds.

It’s the kind of layered, morally complex character Ji Sung has built his legendary career on — and this one looks like no exception.

## What the Main Poster Reveals
