Lee Jin-wook will play forensic expert Goo Seung-hyuk alongside Girls' Generation's YoonA in tvN's Korean remake of Unnatural.

Actor Lee Jin-wook will work together as a colleague forensic scientist of Girls' Generation's YoonA in the Korean version of "Unnatural" (tentative title). tvN's new drama "Unnatural" (script by Min Ji-eun, directed by Park Yu-young), which will first air in Korea in 2027, is a mystery medical drama in which forensic scientists belonging to the fictional autopsy and appraisal organization U.D.I., attached to the National Forensic Service, investigate the truth of incidents hidden behind unnatural deaths. In particular, "Unnatural" is based on the Japanese drama of the same name that aired on TBS Television in 2018. With a highly completed story that skillfully incorporates social messages, and the passionate performances of actors with solid acting ability such as Satomi Ishihara (as Mikoto Misumi) and Arata Iura (as Kei Nakado), it is known as a masterpiece not only in Japan but also in Korea, and boasts a large fan base. For that reason, from the time news of the remake of the Korean version of "Unnatural" was delivered, hot interest had been directed toward it. Amid this, following the announcement that YoonA had been cast as the protagonist forensic scientist Song Do-eun, Lee Jin-wook, who has given a weighty presence in works of various genres, has been cast as forensic scientist Goo Seung-hyuk of the U.D.I. center, drawing expectations. Goo Seung-hyuk is a person with a cold personality who rarely shows his emotions in front of others. Because he is interested only in dead people, not living people, he is called "the Grim Reaper Hyuk" inside U.D.I. He dislikes interacting with people and does not easily open his heart to anyone, and he always keeps a certain distance from others with an expressionless face and a cynical attitude. Goo Seung-hyuk's skill, cultivated through about 3,000 autopsy experiences, is unmatched by others. While finishing autopsies in a short time, he boasts accuracy that does not miss even the tiny traces left on the corpse. The active role of a veteran forensic scientist who does not pay attention to any stimuli around him and focuses only on the corpse in front of him is expected. Furthermore, interest is also focused on Lee Jin-wook's acting, which will depict this character with a cynical and cold atmosphere in his own color. Lee Jin-wook has so far played people who track down the truth at the center of incidents, such as detectives and lawyers. This time, he is scheduled to show a somewhat unusual charm as a forensic pathologist who looks at incidents through traces of death. The production team said, "Lee Jin-wook's unique cold atmosphere and sophisticated emotional expression will exert excellent synergy with the character Goo Seung-hyuk, who rarely reveals his true feelings," and added, "We ask for much interest in the story of Goo Seung-hyuk played by Lee Jin-wook, who will delicately express even the subtle emotions hidden behind his expressionless face and complete it in his own color." tvN's new drama "Unnatural" will first air in Korea in 2027. • Girls' Generation's YoonA confirmed to appear in the popular drama "Unnatural," starring Satomi Ishihara!
