The character stills of Lee Joon Hyuk, who plays Cho Kang Ok, a second-generation chaebol and an ardent fan of Vigilante, who uses his wealth and influence to follow him, have been unveiled.  

Vigilante tells the story of Kim Ji Yong (Nam Joo Hyuk). By day, Kim Ji Yong is a dedicated police academy student, upholding the law. But by night, he transforms into a vigilante, punishing the criminals who have evaded the clutches of law.

Lee Joon Hyuk's character, Cho Kang Ok, is the young vice president of DK Group, one of the most prominent corporations in South Korea. He follows the vigilante using money and insider information, which he can easily get his hands on through his influence. 

He dreamed of being a hero in his childhood. But after seeing news reports about the vigilante, he is exhilarated to see a real hero and starts following him. 

Lee Joon Hyuk tried to portray Cho Kang Ok's unique personality through dedicated effort, adding a character to his repertoire that stands out with sophistication and unconventional charisma.

He effortlessly transitions between the intricacies of his character, including the sleek appearance of a second-generation chaebol and the whimsical eccentricity of the vigilante's fan.

"I really wanted to do this because I thought it is a unique character that's not easy to come by", Lee Joon Hyuk said, revealing the reason for choosing the drama. 

He continued, "While preparing for Cho Kang Ok, I approached it as if I were living like a character in a musical. I got inspiration by watching entertainment shows, documentaries, and reality programs".

Vigilante will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on November 8. Meanwhile, check out the K-drama's main trailer below
