It was previously revealed in May that the actor was offered a role in the upcoming drama “Dr. Lawyer” (working title). On July 5, his appearance in the drama was confirmed.

“Dr. Lawyer” is a heart-warming and cathartic drama about a genius surgeon who becomes a medical malpractice lawyer after losing everything from a fabricated surgery and a prosecutor from the Medical Crimes Department who loses their only family and lover through that surgery.

Prior to the incident that happened four years ago, he was a popular ace surgeon of Bansuk University Hospital.
