Today (24th), Sung Joon's agency Gil Story ENT said, "Actor Sung Joon will appear as Kim Hong-sik in SBS's new drama "The Fiery Priest - Season 2".

SBS's new drama "The Fiery Priest - Season 2", tells the story of Kim Hae-il, a passionate priest who is united with a burning sense of justice, heading to Busan to pursue a drug case in Gudam-gu.

Sung Joon will play the role of Kim Hong-sik in the drama. Kim Hong-sik was sold to Laos when he was young, grew into a drug lord, and returned to his hometown of Busan to build a huge drug cartel, where he committed all kinds of evil acts and burned himself to achieve his desires.

Sung Joon, who has appeared in various works and shown a wide range of acting with delicate acting and ever-changing character digestibility, turned into Goong Tan, the abandoned one from the world, in the original TVING series "Island - Drama" and played a villain, emitting charisma that he has not shown before, drawing attention. In addition, he showed his unrivaled presence as a romance craftsman in Disney+ "Call It Love" as Yoon Joon, Sim Woo-joo's mysterious male friend.

Following Kim Nam-gil, Lee Hanee, Kim Sung-kyun, and BIBI, who confirmed their appearance earlier, the news that Sung Joon, who showed a new face with unpredictable acting, will return to the role of villain Kim Hong-sik in "The Fiery Priest - Season 2" is raising viewers' expectations.

Meanwhile, SBS's new drama "The Fiery Priest - Season 2" starring Sung Joon is scheduled to premiere in the second half of 2024.
