Lee Sang-bo, transformed into a celebrity manager, appeared in 'Elegant Empire' in August
In KBS 2TV's new daily drama 'Elegant Empire' (directed by Park Ki-ho, written by Han Young-mi), which will be broadcast in August following 'Secret Woman', Lee Sang-bo will appear as Na Seung-pil, manager of a small and medium-sized agency.
'Elegant Empire' depicts the desperate and graceful journey of revenge between a man and a woman to regain justice, hidden truth, and lost life trampled by enormous power.
Lee Sang-bo plays Na Seung-pil, the general manager of NA Entertainment, independent of the elegant Empire Entertainment. Na Seung-pil is a hot-blooded manager who takes care not only of his acting but also of his daily life to the extent that he cooks for new actor Jung Woo-hyeok (played by Kang Yul).
He is a person who has a strong hostility toward Jang Ki-yoon (played by Kim Jin-woo), the elegant president of Empire Entertainment, both personally and personally, and is the main character who will lead the play excitingly.
Lee Sang-bo, who received a lot of love as a character in the business world in 'Miss Montecristo', the previous film of director Park Ki-ho, who was in charge of directing 'Elegant Empire', is looking forward to what kind of charm he will captivate viewers with in this work.
KBS 2TV's 'Elegant Empire', which is attracting attention as Lee Sang-bo's return to the small screen, is scheduled to be broadcast for the first time in August following 'Secret Woman'.
Lee Sang-bo was in trouble in September of last year when he was falsely accused of drug use. At that time, the police responded to a report that a man who appeared to be drunk was running around the streets in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and immediately arrested Lee Sang-bo on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. Lee Sang-bo, who tested positive for 'morphine' in a simple drug reagent test, complained that it was because of the ingredients of the antidepressant he was taking, saying, "I did not use drugs."
Later, as a result of a detailed analysis of Lee Sang-bo's urine and hair at the National Forensic Service, no 'morphine' component was detected, and the police finally dismissed Lee Sang-bo as 'no charges'.
