Namgoong Min will be challenging himself in a new genre!

On January 11, Namgoong Min’s agency, 935 Entertainment, stated, “Namgoong Min will star in KBS2’s upcoming drama ‘Doctor Prisoner.'”

“Doctor Prisoner” is a medical suspense drama that tells the story of a genius doctor at a big hospital who has been kicked out and starts a new job as a prison’s new medical director.

Namgoong Min will play the role of Nah Yi Jae, a doctor with exceptional skills and a kind heart who prioritizes his patients above everything else. After getting involved in an unfortunate incident, he ends up leaving his job at the hospital and lives his new life working at a prison medical department.

The actor, who has previously both provided laughs and touched audience’s hearts with his realistic and humorous acting, hopes to do the same with the upcoming drama.

The drama will be directed by Hwang In Hyuk, who recently worked on “Laurel Tree Tailors” and “Assembly.” It is currently scheduled to premiere in March 2019.
