Why is Choi Jiwoo here?Is it a hidden camera of anger at Choi Ji-woo and Kim Won-hoon's provocation that visited office workers?

Mar 14, 2025

Actor Choi Ji-woo will appear as a guest in the 4th episode of the Coupang Play series 'Workers'.

Coupang Play Series 'Workers' is an office survival of MZs who become 'Kindae' between AZ and GenZ against the backdrop of DY Planning, a small and medium-sized marketing company in crisis.

In the trailer for the fourth episode released, Choi Ji-woo, the heroine of the first-generation K-drama 'Winter Sonata' and a top star known as everyone's 'Jiuhime', appeared. Choi Ji-woo was elated by the enthusiastic hospitality of DY employees, and helplessly collapsed by Kim Won-hoon's cheeky attack on his childhood photo saying, "Is it time for 1.4 retreats?" during image consulting, and turned to CEO Shin Dong-yup and said, "Isn't this a hidden camera? I really can't believe everything," he said, eventually bursting into laughter. Whether 'Jiuhime' can be reborn as 'Hipster Hime' that communicates with the MZ generation, DY's unique brilliant proposal that goes beyond customer impressions to grab the back of the neck every time will be unveiled in episode 4.

On the other hand, 'Workers', which properly stimulated the consensus of the real society with the aftermath of the dinner that properly stimulated the dark history, realistically describes the lunchtime landscape this time. Ji Ye-eun, an employee who is serious about self-development, uses her lunch time to study video English and tries to reach full level of English ability, while Kim Won-hoon, the head of the 'Unfortunate Icon', once again, called out Cha Jung-won, an employee who is favored by CEO Shin Dong-yeop, and predicted a head-to-head confrontation.

As soon as it was released, 'Workers', which is well-received for opening a new genre of office comedy with a more realistic workplace culture, ranked first in Coupang Play's popular work, and the number of viewers surged vertically to 777% compared to the first week. In addition, it has surpassed 32 million views only with related contents such as trailers and highlights in the third episode of its release, and has been on a roll by changing various popular indicators every week, with its recognition and viewership soaring in the second week of its release.

A new horizon for K-office comedies with a fierce popularity boom will be released every Saturday at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
