SBS has given fans a fresh look at Yook Sungjae in his first leading role in a romance drama in a while, and the new stills from “Nine to Six” radiate pure first-day-of-work energy. The BTOB star suits up as a bright-eyed rookie intern opposite Park Min Young, and their chemistry is already shaping up to be the drama’s biggest draw.

Nine to Six: Yook Sungjae Is the Bright-Eyed New Hire Who Changes Everything
“Nine to Six” is a romance drama about Kang Ji Yi (Park Min Young), a workaholic professional who has pushed her love life to the back burner in favor of her career. Everything changes when she meets Han Seon Woo (Yook Sungjae), a thoughtful and warm-hearted newcomer whose outlook on life is the exact opposite of hers. Through each other, the two learn how to love and grow — both in their careers and their personal lives.
From Law School to Jewelry Design to the Legal Team
Han Seon Woo is an unconventional hero. Despite graduating from law school, he chose to follow his passion for jewelry design instead of a conventional legal career. But an unexpected turn of events lands him at Chronic Motors, joining the legal team as an intern — a fish out of water with a designer’s heart in a corporate legal department.
The newly released stills capture Han Seon Woo on his first day of work, looking more excited than nervous. Dressed in a navy suit and tie, he beams with anticipation and positive energy, the very picture of a hopeful new hire ready to prove himself. The images hint at a character whose warmth will slowly melt the walls built by Kang Ji Yi, who has spent years treating work as her entire world.
Nine to Six Release Date and Cast
“Nine to Six” will premiere on November 25 at 9 p.m. KST on SBS, taking the Monday-Tuesday drama slot. The pairing of Park Min Young — fresh off a streak of hit rom-coms — with Yook Sungjae, who has been building a solid acting resume alongside his BTOB activities, gives the drama a strong commercial core. Expect a classic opposites-attract office romance with a soft-focus glow.
