"The Worst of Evil" Actor Ji Seung Hyun Reveals He Has Been Diagnosed with an Incurable Disease
From musicals and dramas to movies and variety shows, actor Lee Sang Yi has an array of works on his portfolio. Having debuted with the musical Grease, the actor started gaining attention with his role in Prison Playbook. From portraying gentle and warm characters in Youth of May and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha to embodying a fearless and bold boxer in Bloodhounds, he has consistently presented versatile acting in each production. Now, in Han River Police, he transforms into a villain threatening the peace of the Han River.
Disney+ original series Han River Police revolves around the Han River Police Force, a group tasked with safeguarding the Han River day and night. The story unfolds as they become entangled in crimes surrounding the river, resulting in a spectacular blend of comedy and action.
Lee Sang Yi's character, Go Gi Seok, is the nephew of Hwang Man Seok (Choi Moo Sung), the chairman of Gyeongin River Cruise. He is also the leader of their operations.
Gi Seok is a greedy, materialistic, and two-faced character. In front of Chairman Hwang, he fears even raising his gaze, but behind his back, he doesn't hesitate to hold back his anger.
The character stills featuring Lee Sang Yi as Gi Seok, portray him sitting arrogantly in his office. Interestingly, the stills also present a counterpoint, showcasing Gi Seok's composed demeanor in the presence of Chairman Hwang, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the complexity of his character.
Lee Sang Yi expressed his affection for the character, commenting, "Ki Seok's multifaceted nature as a villain makes him appealing".
Director Kim Sang Cheol praised the actor, saying, "Lee Sang Yi is an actor who puts a lot of thought and preparation into his character. We collaborated on set to bring this character to life".
Han River Police premiers on September 13th on Disney+ and Hulu.
