Actor Jung Sung-il, who made waves in the Netflix original The Glory, is making a bold pivot into comedy—signing on for a new YouTube series and promising a shocking transformation that fans won’t want to miss.
Jung Sung-il has confirmed his appearance in the comedy series Ipgeum Baramnida, produced by the YouTube channel BDNS. In the show, Jung transforms into Yoon Ji-hyeok, the head of a private fixer agency. Centered on an outfit that will take on any job as long as the money comes in, the episodic comedy unravels a variety of cases, with fresh stories and guest stars in every episode.
Yoon Ji-hyeok, Jung’s character, is a former National Intelligence Service operative who now runs a fixer agency called ‘One Solution’. A street-smart survivor who relies on quick wit and a laid-back swagger, Yoon straddles bravado and reality—driving the story with a three-dimensional charm. The narrative interweaves flashbacks to his NIS days with the present, deepening the character’s backstory.
This project marks Jung Sung-il’s first full-on dive into comedy, heightening anticipation. With off-the-wall requests and unpredictable twists, all eyes are on the fresh acting colors Jung will unveil. Another major draw is his chemistry with Moon Sang-hoon, who plays the agency’s eccentric profiler, Moon Sang-rok.
Since his 2002 debut in the film H, Jung left a powerful impression on the public as Ha Do-yeong in The Glory. He has since cemented his presence with films like Uprising and Murder Report, as well as Disney+ titles Trigger and Made in Korea.
Meanwhile, Ipgeum Baramnida is set to premiere on the BDNS channel at 1 p.m. on the 12th (KST).
