Parole Examiner Lee, the upcoming tvN drama starring Go Soo, Kwon Yu Ri, Baek Ji Won, and Lee Hak Joo, is only a couple of weeks away from its telecast. Ahead of the premiere, the production team shared new details about the crime thriller, including the first look of Lee Hak Joo as arrogant chaebol villain Ji Myung Seob. The cast member also spoke about his character in the mini-series.
The newly released promotional stills feature Hak Joo as an arrogant chaebol villain named Ji Myung Seob. The character lives without fear because he is a member of the untouchable upper class. Myung Seob is the son of Ji Dong Man, the chairman of Oh Jung Group -- one of the top companies in South Korea. He never felt any guilt or regret about his wrongdoings because of the power to escape.
The teaser images show Myung Seob exuding confidence in a prison uniform. The villain arrogantly looks at the camera with a yielding expression that he can leave the prison when he feels. According to actor Hak Joo, Myung Seob is someone who believes that he can do anything to the weaker individuals. He does not realize his wrongdoings.
"Ji Myung Seob is a villain who believes he can do anything to weaker individuals. Having grown up exploiting his father's power, he doesn't realize his actions are wrong. While portraying Ji Myung Seob, I put effort into using my imagination. I thought a lot about questions like If someone encountered Ji Myung Seob, what kind of his attitude would be most unpleasant? What would provoke this character? And Why does he lack a sense of guilt?" the cast member explained.
