Disney+'s upcoming series, ‘Vigilante,’ has dropped fresh stills showcasing the charismatic Lee Joon Hyuk in action. Derived from a webtoon of the same moniker, ‘Vigilante’ narrates the chronicle of Kim Ji Yong (portrayed by Nam Joo Hyuk), a model police university scholar who champions the law during the day and, when night falls, metamorphoses into a clandestine vigilante, resolving matters against delinquents who elude conventional justice.
In the series, Lee Joon Hyuk breathes life into the character of Jo Kang Ok, a scion of a corporate empire (chaebol) who fervently adores ‘Vigilante.’ Jo Kang Ok assumes the role of the youthful vice chairman of DK Group, a prominent conglomerate, and he supports the vigilante cause using the might of his wealth and insider information. As he catches wind of the news about Vigilante, Jo Kang Ok, a dreamer of heroism since his youth, is ignited with the thrill of witnessing a real-life hero. He becomes an ardent admirer of the enigmatic vigilante.
Lee Joon Hyuk elucidated his motivation for joining the cast, stating, "I believed that encountering a character as unique as Jo Kang Ok wouldn't be a breeze, so I was truly eager to seize this opportunity." Furthermore, he disclosed his approach to preparing for the character, saying, "Jo Kang Ok is a character who embodies unparalleled freedom, so I endeavored to embrace the uninhibited essence of this persona. While immersing myself in Jo Kang Ok's role, I visualised him as someone leading his life like a grand musical performance, drawing inspiration from a wide array of sources, including variety shows, documentaries, and reality programs."
