Shin Ha Kyun goes undercover as a head chef to reclaim what he lost in new drama "Fifties Professionals"

MBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Fifties Professionals” has its first photos from Shin Ha Kyun in character!

“Fifties Professionals” is an action comedy about three seemingly ordinary, but secretly dangerous middle-aged men who are brought back into action by fate. The three men, who once reigned at the top of their respective fields, find themselves drawn to the remote island of Yeongseon after a mysterious incident. There they begin a bittersweet and comical quest to discover the truth about the fateful day 10 years ago that changed their lives.

Shin Ha Kyun plays Jung Ho Myung, a head chef at a Chinese restaurant. He was once the National Intelligence Service’s (NIS) top black agent. After a failed covert operation, he goes undercover on Yeongseon Island to retrieve a critical item. He continues his search while working at a Chinese restaurant, but as family responsibilities and a living take priority, 10 years pass.

The photos show two contrasting sides: the cold, charismatic NIS agent and chef Jung Ho Myung moving through the dining area carrying a tray. In the photos, Jung Ho Myung’s facial expression and gaze are so different that it is hard to believe they are the same person. The images highlight a stark contrast between the agent with an unwavering gaze and his current self, who, despite his fatigue, has not lost his sharp edge.

The production team noted, “Jung Ho Myung’s double life, moving from an NIS agent to a chef at a Chinese restaurant, is the core of the drama. As the lead role in the series, Shin Ha Kyun will give a full performance. Viewers will once again recognize the true value of ‘God Ha Kyun’ through his presence and passion, which we saw on set.”
