JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Art of Negotiation” has shared new stills of Lee Je Hoon, Sung Dong Il, Jang Hyun Sung, and Oh Man Seok!

“The Art of Negotiation” follows the story of Yoon Joo No, an M&A expert who is known as a legendary negotiator, as he leads his team through high-stakes corporate challenges. The drama is helmed by director Ahn Pan Seok, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and realism.

Lee Je Hoon plays Yoon Joo No, a renowned figure in the M&A world who joins Sanin Group in an effort to resolve its financial crisis. As Yoon Joo No and his team take on the challenge of addressing Sanin Group’s debt crisis, he will become entangled with the three most powerful figures at Sanin Group, whose actions will impact the high-stakes 11 trillion won (approximately $75 billion) funding project.

Sung Dong Il plays CEO Song Jae Shik, the founder of Sanin Group, who personally recruits Yoon Joo No to help the company. A key figure in South Korea’s corporate world, Song Jae Shik built Sanin Group from the ground up but now faces a crisis due to massive debt. To overcome this challenge, he turns to M&A specialist Yoon Joo No.

Jang Hyun Sung stars as Ha Tae Soo, the CFO of Sanin Group and the second most powerful person in the company. As CFO, Ha Tae Soo controls the company’s financial resources, expanding his influence and rising to the position of second-in-command. His tense confrontations with Yoon Joo No hint at a gripping power struggle within the company.

Unlike Ha Tae Soo, Managing Director Lee Dong Jun (Oh Man Seok) serves as Yoon Joo No’s reliable ally. Having been with Song Jae Shik since the early days of Sanin Group, Lee Dong Jun now holds the position of CCO, acting as another pillar of power within the company.

As Yoon Joo No navigates Sanin Group’s corporate battleground, he must contend with the unpredictable intentions of CEO Song Jae Shik and the fierce opposition of Ha Tae Soo amidst the steadfast support of Lee Dong Jun.
