After an unforeseen accident flips his fate with Lee Jun Young, actor Son Hyun Joo plunges into a desperate fight for survival.
On the 6th, JTBC’s new Sat–Sun K-Drama Reborn Rookie unveiled its second teaser, delivering an intense, all-immersive preview.
The clip opens with Kang Yong-ho (Son Hyun Joo) waking up in a hospital and reeling at his new reality. After a freak accident, he loses his wealth and power in an instant and finds himself trapped in Hwang Jun-hyeon’s (Lee Jun Young) body. Confronting the brutal truth of starting again from the bottom, he screams, "Why am I that guy?!"
Forced to face his children while inside Hwang Jun-hyeon’s body, Kang Yong-ho is consumed by betrayal and rage. Watching them squabble over his fortune in front of his own comatose body, he sharpens his blade of revenge: "Did you think I wouldn’t find out what you did?" In a pivotal moment, he clasps hands with his mysterious youngest daughter, Kang Bang-geul (Lee Joo Myung), and proposes, "Choisung—let’s take it back. With me," signaling the opening salvo of a full-on family power war.
Ultimately, Kang Yong-ho infiltrates Choisung—the very empire he built—undercover as a lowly intern. Having fallen from the highest seat to the bottom rank, he begins exposing the company’s rot from the closest range. An intern armed with a chairman-level insight promises a cathartic counterattack and a high-stakes corporate battle that’s already raising expectations.
Meanwhile, Reborn Rookie, chronicling the jaw-dropping role reversal between Son Hyun Joo and Lee Jun Young, is set to premiere on the 30th at 10:40 p.m. on JTBC.
