Kim Min-sang plays the role of Choi Jong-soo, a detective director who stands at odds with Chung Hyeon (Kang Hoon) in the LG Uplus STUDIO X+U mid-form drama 『The Hunter with the Mess" (script Cho Han-young, Park Hyun-shin, Hong Yeon, director Junghoon Lee) and leads the conflict structure of the play.
In the play, Jong-soo is the detective chief of Yong Cheon-seo's violent team, who has authority but is passive in the investigation, and he instilled tension in the development of the play through the aspect of his boss who values face and security.
Obsessed with conservative methods of investigation and skeptical of decisive evidence or reports, he caused viewers' anger by focusing only on self-protection, such as shifting responsibility to Chung to hide his mistakes as the incident grew bigger.
In particular, in scenes of raising voices or responding emotionally in crisis situations, Kim Min-sang's charismatic and determined performance convincingly revealed Jong-soo's hypocrisy and increased his immersion.
Kim Min-sang, who built a three-dimensional character that goes beyond simple 'Villain' through 'The Hunter with the Mess'. Attention is drawn to his future performance as a major variable triggering Yongcheonseo's conflict and a heavy internal antagonist.
Meanwhile, 「Hunter with a Mess」 starring Kim Min-sang is released every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on U+TV, U+Mobile TV, and Disney+.
