Actor Lee Jun-young has completed preparations to debut in '24-Hour Health Club'.
The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama '24-Hour Health Club' (directed by Park Jun-soo and Choi Yeon-soo, written by Kim Ji-soo), which is set to air on the 30th, is a heart-pounding comic romance about a fitness enthusiast, Director Do Hyun-jung, who dramatically corrects the overly anxious lives of beginner gym members.
The '24-Hour Health Club' team has released stills showcasing Lee Jun-young's limitless transformation, ramping up efforts to recruit new members (potential viewers).
In the released stills, Lee Jun-young perfectly embodies the character of Director Do Hyun-jung, a fitness enthusiast, with his gaze, expressions, and poses, attracting the attention of many. From a relaxed smile with crossed arms to a charismatic frown, just a few shots imprint the narrative of the 'Director Do' character and heighten expectations. Even the fit of his training outfit screams 'real-life director'. Lee Jun-young's detailed expressiveness hints at how thoroughly he has prepared for the Do Hyun-jung character.
The character Hyun-jung, played by Lee Jun-young, is someone who turned his life around through exercise and mysteriously disappears after winning first place in the Mr. David competition, a dream for fitness enthusiasts in the drama. After vanishing without a trace, he reappears as the director of the '24-Hour Health Club', which operates year-round, engaging in a fierce survival game between self-employed individuals and trainers while delivering both humor and deep empathy. The reason he suddenly took over an old gym from being a world-class bodybuilder raises curiosity, and expectations for the character of Director Do Hyun-jung, who shouts 'fitness first', are soaring day by day.
Lee Jun-young is expected to showcase a distinctly different side, oscillating between seriousness and humor, making everyone 'fall for him'. Even before the broadcast, drama fans are already reacting with excitement, saying things like, "I'm already addicted to Lee Jun-young's trainer tone," "It feels like I'm really being scolded by the director," "I can't wait to see the health club," and "I want to register at the health club with Director Do," leading to a flood of inquiries about new member registrations.
'24-Hour Health Club' will premiere on the 30th at 9:50 PM as a follow-up to 'The Land of Villains'.
