Before enlisting, Extraordinary Attorney Woo marks his last drama and will return as Lee Jun Ho in season 2 in 2024. Meanwhile, he recently also reunited with the cast and crew of his drama Run On ahead of his enlistment. His co-stars Im Siwan, Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung, and Shin Se Kyung, as well as director Lee Jae Hoon and writer Park Si Hyun were in attendance to support Kang.

Kang Tae Oh starred opposite Park Eun Bin in Extraordinary Attorney Woo as her love interest Lee Jun Ho. The series is a story about an autistic attorney Young Woo tackles challenges in the courtroom and beyond with the help of her friends and colleagues. She might be different from you and me but when it comes to delivering justice, you can bet that no case is too big or difficult for this newbie attorney to handle. The series also stars Kang Ki Young, Ha Yun Kyung, and Joo Jong Hy.
