Rising star Lee Shi Woo and Kang Hye Won, both steadily building their filmography, play pivotal roles as Asan White Tiger's Jung Kyung Tae and high school student Kang Sun Hwa, respectively, adding to the anticipation.

The Coupang Play series Boys' Generation, directed by Lee Myung Woo, known for producing numerous hit works such as dramas The Fiery Priest, Backstreet Rookie, and Coupang Play series One Ordinary Day, has been filming since June of this year. Set in the 1980s, when only the strong survive in the rural area of Buyeo, the drama portrays the struggles of high school student Byung Tae, who suddenly becomes the school's boss overnight, delivering an engaging story filled with intriguing challenges. Set against the backdrop of the distinctive humor of the Chungcheong Province and its warmth, the drama is expected to bring a fresh and unprecedented level of enjoyment.
