Lee Je Hoon Receives A Not-So-Warm Welcome On His First Day At Work In "The Art Of Negotiation"

Mar 08, 2025

Lee Je Hoon is about to make waves on his first day at work in JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Art of Negotiation”!

“The Art of Negotiation” is a new drama starring Lee Je Hoon as Yoon Joo No, an M&A expert known as a legendary negotiator. Together with his team, he sets out to save the debt-ridden Sanin Group from going bankrupt.

Newly released stills from the drama’s highly-anticipated first episode offer a glimpse of Yoon Joo No’s eventful first day at work. When CEO Song Jae Shik (played by Sung Dong Il) personally recruits Yoon Joo No—who used to work at Sanin Group—to return to the company as the head of its M&A team, rumors run rampant about the famous negotiator.

Amidst the countless rumors circulating about him, Yoon Joo No shakes up Sanin Group from his very first day on the job. While confidently delivering a briefing in front of the company’s executives, Yoon Joo No makes an explosive remark that will catch everyone off guard.

CFO Ha Tae Soo (Jang Hyun Sung), who is the second in command at Sanin Group, is none too pleased about Yoon Joo No’s return—and he doesn’t bother to hide it. During Yoon Joo No’s briefing, Ha Tae Soo challenges him with a visibly hostile gaze. On the other hand, CCO Lee Dong Jun (Oh Man Seok), who also happens to be Yoon Joo No’s mentor, carefully watches the situation unfold from a close distance.

Meanwhile, when Song Jae Shik appears at the meeting, Yoon Joo No greets him with a resolute look in his eye that hints at his determination to save Sanin Group.
