Lee Jun transforms into a National Tax Service official inspecting tax evasion amounts… Short drama

Role of 'Shin Jae-hyun', an NTS Investigation Team Leader with Superpowers

Actor Lee Jun transforms into a National Tax Service (NTS) official with the special ability to see the tax evasion amounts of others. The global short-form drama platform 'Lezin Snack' announced that Lee Jun has been cast as the protagonist of the short-form drama 'NTS Rogue,' based on a popular webtoon IP. All filming has been completed, and the project is currently in post-production, with a release scheduled for the second half of this year.

Shin Jae-hyun, played by Lee Jun, is an NTS investigation team leader who tracks the illicit funds of giant corporations. A character possessing both cold judgment and strong convictions, he uses his superpowers to uncover the corruption of the powerful. In this work, Lee Jun is expected to portray a multi-dimensional character that oscillates between cold rationality and human anguish.

Conspiracies Entwined with Chaebol Families and Politics, and Intense Confrontations

'NTS Rogue' captures the fast-paced development of the original work, depicting cases where conspiracies involving chaebol families, political circles, and the internal affairs of the NTS are intricately intertwined. The confrontation with villains centered around the protagonist, Shin Jae-hyun, heightens the tension of the drama.

The drama features Shin Jae-hyun's older brother, 'Shin Woo-hyun' (played by Jang Jae-ho), who abandoned his family for success, and 'Yoo Jin-hwan' (played by Kang Hee-gu), a strategist who uses any means necessary as the right-hand man of a presidential candidate. Additionally, NTS executive 'Min Chi-ho' (played by Min Seong-uk), an ally to Shin Jae-hyun, joins the cast to build a solid acting ensemble.

Genre Pleasure to be Realized under the Direction of Director Kim Jae-hoon

This project is helmed by Director Kim Jae-hoon, who co-directed the Netflix series 'Trigger.' Director Kim plans to maximize the unique sense of speed found in the original work, capturing Shin Jae-hyun's pursuit of the truth with a rapid tempo.

Regarding the work, Lee Jun shared his thoughts, saying, "It is a refreshing, 'cider-like' work, much like gulping down a cold beer in the middle of summer," and added, "It will move forward quickly while feeling fresh and invigorating."
