Agent Kim Reactivated has officially unveiled its impressive supporting cast lineup. The upcoming action revenge drama promises intense confrontations and high-stakes drama centered around a father’s desperate mission. With a star-studded ensemble joining the leads, the series is generating significant anticipation among K-drama fans.
Based on a popular webtoon, Agent Kim Reactivated follows the thrilling story of an ordinary single father with a hidden past. Lead actors So Ji-sub, Choi Dae-hoon, and Yoon Kyung-ho anchor the central trio. They are joined by a talented group of supporting performers including Kim Sung-kyu, Lee Jae-yong, Won Hyun-joon, Park Jin-woo, Jo Bok-rae, Lee Dong-ha, Seo Su-min, and Yoo Ji-an.
Lee Jae-yong portrays Ri Eung-ryung, the ruthless director of the General Bureau of Intelligence who clashes directly with the protagonist. Kim Sung-kyu takes on the role of Park Kang-sung, a highly skilled North Korean operative. These characters add layers of international intrigue and tension to the narrative.
Park Jin-woo appears as Mr. Lim, a seemingly friendly laundromat owner whose true motives remain shrouded in mystery. Won Hyun-joon plays Kang Guk-chul, the director of South Korea’s Special Mission Bureau known by the code name “Mole Cricket.” Their involvement deepens the story’s complex web of secrets and alliances.
Lee Dong-ha portrays Director Nam, Joo Kang-chan’s loyal aide who follows orders without question. Jo Bok-rae embodies Geum I-bbal, a vengeful gangster connected to the influential Joo Kang-chan. These figures bring additional grit and moral ambiguity to the revenge-driven plot.
Meanwhile, Yoo Ji-an and Seo Su-min portray the two daughters whose fierce conflict ignites the entire chain of events. Yoo Ji-an plays Joo Hye-ri, the influential daughter of Joo Kang-chan who leverages her family’s power to rule her school environment. Seo Su-min stars as Kim Min-ji, Manager Kim’s determined daughter who stands her ground no matter the pressure. Their intense rivalry is poised to upend the lives of both fathers in dramatic fashion.
So Ji-sub returns to the action-noir genre as Manager Kim, a seemingly ordinary dad at a small savings bank who harbors a dangerous secret from his black-ops days. When his daughter goes missing, he reactivates his formidable skills, risking everything to rescue her. The series blends high-octane action sequences with emotional family drama, exploring themes of protection, betrayal, and redemption across South and North Korean elements.
The webtoon adaptation expands on the source material’s universe, which connects to broader storytelling worlds familiar to fans of action-packed series. Director and writer teams are crafting a compelling live-action experience full of twists, intense chases, and character-driven moments. This project marks a significant comeback for So Ji-sub in a role that highlights both his physical prowess and dramatic range.
Agent Kim Reactivated premieres on SBS on June 26 at 9:50 p.m. KST and will be available for streaming on Netflix shortly after, with simulcast episodes for global audiences. Viewers can expect a gripping mix of espionage, family stakes, and explosive confrontations in this highly anticipated series.
