The new tvN drama 'Favorite Employee' is an office growth romance about a new employee, Nam Da-reum, who becomes the 'favorite employee' while trying to meet her 'favorite idol'. The series is based on the popular Naver webtoon 'My Brother is an Idol'.
In the drama, Kim Hye-jun will portray Nam Da-reum, who joins her favorite idol's company with dreams of becoming a successful fan. She is a passionate fan of the idol group D.N.X for 11 years and even gives up a coveted position at a major corporation to join the company where her favorite idol, Lee Chan (played by Cha Woo-min), is an executive director.
Kim Hye-jun will transform into a new employee at the fashion startup 'Apello', led by CEO Kang Ha-gi (played by Kang Hoon). She struggles to become a special presence beside Lee Chan, but unintentionally gets involved with both characters, promising a variety of entertaining scenarios.
Kim Hye-jun has showcased her versatile acting skills in various films such as 'Another Child', 'Metamorphosis', and 'Sinkhole', as well as dramas like 'Inspector Koo', 'Connect', and 'The Killer's Shopping List', leaving a strong impression with her performances.
In her recent Netflix project 'Cashier', she played the role of Min-sook, a brave and clever character, delivering a relatable and engaging performance that earned her praise for her portrayal of a capable and resourceful 'brain' character.
'Favorite Employee' is set to premiere in the second half of the year.
