Song Seung-heon showcases his versatility as both a detective and a manager.

In the seventh episode of Genie TV's original drama 'My Troublesome Star' (directed by Choi Young-hoon, written by Park Ji-ha, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by Jumbo Film and Studio Bom), which aired on the 8th, Song Seung-heon takes on the role of 'Dokgo Cheol', a lone wolf detective who goes undercover as the manager of Bong Cheong-ja (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) in hopes of returning to the violent crimes unit.

Dokgo Cheol begins his journey as the manager of Cheong-ja, who is signed with Kang Doo-won's (played by Oh Dae-hwan) company, Two One Entertainment. Initially, he was concerned about the dangers of Cheong-ja's broadcasting activities, but he soon opened up to her trusting demeanor. Determined to uncover the connection between Joo Seung-pil (played by Go Han-min) and Two One Entertainment, Dokgo Cheol persuades his chief and thoroughly investigates the involved parties. He also arranges meetings with directors and gifts Cheong-ja self-defense items, showcasing his busy schedule.

Dokgo Cheol steadfastly supports the confused Cheong-ja. He even kneels before Go Hee-young (played by Lee El) to apologize on Cheong-ja's behalf when she considers canceling an advertisement. When Cheong-ja expresses her frustration upon learning this, Dokgo Cheol warmly reassures her, saying, "It's a manager's job to protect their actor. Stand tall and hold your head high." Additionally, when reporters swarm after a scandal involving Cheong-ja and Lim Se-ra breaks out, he grabs her hand and says, "On the count of three, we run," thrilling viewers to the end.

Song Seung-heon plays an indispensable role at the heart of the drama. He perfectly captures the multifaceted character of Dokgo Cheol, from his meticulous investigations as a detective to his reliable support as a manager for Cheong-ja. As Dokgo Cheol and Cheong-ja become essential to each other, viewers are left with a warm smile, eagerly anticipating the continuation of Song Seung-heon's story in 'My Troublesome Star'.
