Disney+'s original series 'Gangnam B-Side' is heightening anticipation by releasing character keyword stills before its premiere.

The unique charms of the characters portrayed by Jo Woo-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Ha Yoon-kyung are drawing attention.

Jo Woo-jin takes on the role of Detective Kang Dong-woo, represented by the keyword 'humanistic sexiness'. Playing a character who is easygoing yet possesses sharp intuition, Jo Woo-jin shared his interpretation: "I aimed to portray his honest and confident demeanor in a way that's both human and attractive."

Ji Chang-wook is set to make the most daring transformation in his filmography with the keyword 'face is a weapon'.

Regarding this, Jo Woo-jin expressed anticipation for Ji Chang-wook's spectacular action scenes, saying, "Not just his face, his entire body is a weapon."

Ha Yoon-kyung plays Min Seo-jin, an ambitious prosecutor blinded by promotion, showcasing the character's charisma with sharply tailored suits.

She reportedly put great effort into bringing realism to the character, even consulting with lawyers who are former prosecutors.

Rising star Kim Hyeong-seo will showcase her versatile facial expressions as Jae-hee, the missing club ace.

Director Park Noo-ri revealed the casting background: "From her first audition line, she was exactly the Jae-hee I had imagined."
