TV CHOSUN's new weekend miniseries Confidence Man KR (played by Hong Seung-hyun, directed by Nam Ki-hoon) is a cross-sectional scam in which three talented scammers seek revenge against the villains of this era. It foreshadows the birth of 'K-Capermool', which cheerfully twists the grammar of the existing crime genre, along with the exciting story development that cleverly penetrates the loopholes of the social system.
In particular, Confidence Man KR draws keen attention as an unusual move to confirm simultaneous launches on various platforms, from global OTT such as Amazon Prime Video, Coupang Play, and TV CHOSUN to domestic OTT and comprehensive programming channels. Global OTT 'Amazon Prime Video' which is broadcast in more than 240 countries around the world decided to produce 'Amazon Original Drama' followed by 'Coupang Play' which boasts a unique presence in Korea and 'TV CHOSUN' which has a solid audience, joining forces to build a 'Global Mega Universe' which has expanded to the world.
In this regard, Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Joo Jong-hyuk have completed the hot catharsis lineup of 'Confidence Man KR', reporting the sort of 'K-Capermul' that will turn the world upside down.
First of all, Park Min-young, who became the best 'Roko Queen' in Korea through 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?'', 'People at the Korea Meteorological Administration: The Brutal History of In-house Love' and 'Marry My Husband', will return splendidly as Yoon Yi-rang, a fraudulent leader with an IQ of 165 and a top 1% genius brain in 'Confidence Man KR'. Park Min-young's 「Marry My Husband" topped the charts in Europe, the U.S., and South America when the show was aired, and continued to be in the top 10 even after the show ended, proving its global popularity and influence. Park Min-young transforms into an unconventional character who is a fraud in 'Caper Mool' and tries to renew her life character again.
Beloved by various age groups for her irreplaceable acting skills that span genres such as 'My Name', 'Squid Game 2, 3', 'Moving', 'Trolley', Park Hee-soon, nicknamed 'Ji Cheon-myung Idol', will play James, a chic gentleman. Park Hee-soon is expected to fascinate the small screen with her classic charm James, who combines various senses and humor that makes her fall in love at once.
Joo Jong-hyuk, who rose to the rank of a 'popular actor' after being recognized for his solid acting skills in 'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo', 'Trigger', and 'There is no secret', is decomposed into a strange, lovely, clumsy role of Myung Gu-ho, giving off a different charm. Attention is focused on Joo Jong-hyuk's challenge to complete an impressive filmography in Confidence Man KR with fresh visuals and cute cuteness.
On the other hand, 'Confidence Man KR' is also drawing attention as a combination of talented production teams with extreme ripple power. Director Nam Ki-hoon, who showed explosive directing skills ranging from big genres such as 'Casino', 'Kiss Six Sense', 'Oh My Baby' and 'Voice3', and Hong Seung-hyun, who was recognized for his sensuous writing skills in 'Criminal Minds' and 'Cheoyong 1 and 2', will meet to herald the birth of a topical drama in the second half of 2025.
The production company expressed confidence that "Confidence Man KR" will be an all-time "Global Project" by combining global OTT, domestic OTT, and TV CHOSUN."Confidence Man KR" will spread a different "K-Content" to the world beyond Korea, and at the same time draw a new chapter of "K-Capermul."
Meanwhile, TV CHOSUN's new weekend miniseries 'Confidence Man KR' will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on September 6 and will be released simultaneously on Coupang Play.
