Ji Chang Wook and Wi Ha Joon’s "The Worst of Evil" Confirms Premiere Date

On August 14th, Disney+ revealed the release date of the upcoming action thriller The Worst of Evil. The K-drama, starring Ji Chang Wook, Wi Ha Joon, and Im Se Mi, is set to release on September 27th. 

Set in the 1990s, The Worst of Evil is a story of the journey of police officer Joon Mo (Ji Chang Wook), who infiltrates a Korean-Chinese-Japanese drug trade syndicate centered in Gangnam, aiming to dismantle its operations.

Accompanying the announcement of the release, a teaser poster has also been released.  

Set against the backdrop of Gangnam, the poster gives the retro vibe of the 1990s, showing Ki Chul (Wi Ha Joon), the mastermind behind the criminal organization, and Joon Mo (Ji Chang Wook), who is undercover for the drug investigation. Both exude an air of charismatic determination as they confidently walk the bustling streets of Gangnam, etching a lasting impression.

Of particular note is the impeccable transformation of the two actors. 

Ji Chang Wook, playing the role of Park Joon Mo, who is tasked with infiltrating the Gangnam syndicate, is poised to deliver a tour de force performance, perhaps the most compelling of his career. The actor's assertion that he poured his heart into the role adds to the fervent excitement surrounding the drama.

Wi Ha Joon, who plays Jung Ki Chul, the enigmatic leader of the Gangnam syndicate, masterfully portrays the multifaceted nature of the character. From his unwavering determination to achieve success at any cost, to his unshakable loyalty, Wi Ha Joon's performance breathes soul into the character of Ki Chul.

Actress Im Se Mi comes as Yoo Eui Jung, Park Joon Mo's (Ji Chang Wook) wife, and a narcotics officer. 

The Worst of Evil is directed by Han Dong Wook. Writer Jeong Min Seok wrote the screenplay. 

Look forward to the release of The Worst of Evil on September 27th on Disney+.
