Just when you thought Reborn Rookie couldn’t get more chaotic, the show is sending its leads on an international undercover mission — complete with matching couple outfits and a glamorous party. Yes, really.
In JTBC’s hit drama, Hwang Jun Hyun (Lee Jun Young) is actually Choiseong Group chairman Kang Yong Ho’s soul trapped in a young soccer player’s body — a classic body swap premise that’s giving the story its comedic and emotional edge. Now, alongside allies Kang Bang Geul (Lee Ju Myoung) and Park Bong Gi (Lee Sung Wook), he’s heading abroad on a high-stakes mission disguised as a vacation.
What’s Happening in the Next Episode
This time, the trio isn’t just facing one enemy — they’re going up against an entire rival corporation, Taeha Group, in an attempt to intercept a major contract. New stills show the team strategizing late into the night in a hotel room, then slipping into their cover roles: Jun Hyun and Bang Geul as a couple in matching outfits, and Bong Gi disguised as a tour guide. A final teaser image shows the “couple” dressed up for a glamorous party, hinting at an even bigger twist ahead.
