In “The Frog,” we find Yoon Kye-Sang portraying the character of Koo Sang-Jun. Previously, Sang-Jun managed a guesthouse and resided there with his family for around two decades. However, a specific event caused Sang-Jun to lose everything during one hot summer season.

I’ve had a rich career as an actor, working on some truly remarkable projects throughout my journey. From “Who Are You?” to “My 19-Year-Old Sister-In-Law,” “The Greatest Love,” “Poongsan,” “High Kick Season 3,” “The Good Wife,” and “Destined With You,” each role has added a unique chapter to my life’s story. Each character I’ve portrayed has helped me grow as an artist, challenging me to delve deeper into the human experience and connect with audiences on a profound level. It’s been an honor to be part of these stories and contribute to the world of entertainment in such a meaningful way.

Currently, Lee Jung-Eun stars as police officer Yoon Bo-Min in a new Netflix K-drama. Twenty years prior, she was involved in the case of Sang-Jun as a police officer. Recently, she has been assigned to the same police station as the chief. A seasoned actress in the South Korean drama scene, Jung-Eun is known for her roles in productions like Parasite (2019), where she played a supporting character, and others such as Miss Night and Day, Daily Dose of Sunshine, Behind Your Touch, and Our Blues.

Among the remaining actors, you’ll find Ryu Hyun-Kyung, Park Ji-Hwan, Roh Yoon-Seo, Kim Sung-Ryung, Park Chan-Yeol, and Hong Ki-Joon. Don’t forget to catch “The Frog” on Netflix this coming Friday!
