The scene-stealing king is back — Jo Jin-woong stuns with a chilling performance in Netflix's 'Karma'.

🔥 A Loan Shark with Maximum Impact

Actor Jo Jin-woong made a surprise special appearance in the Netflix original series Karma (written and directed by Lee Il-hyung), released on April 4.

He played a ruthless loan shark who confronts and threatens Sache-nam (Lee Hee-jun). Despite his limited screen time, his presence left an unforgettable impression.

Director Lee Il-hyung explained the casting choice:

"He needed to set the tone early in the drama. I wanted someone who could leave a strong impact with just one scene — and Jo Jin-woong was the perfect fit."

📸 A Visual That Sends Chills

New still cuts show Jo in a slick all-black suit with his hair slicked back. His piercing stare and signature cold gestures amplified the character's menace — giving viewers actual chills.

He returned later in the series for a surprise reappearance, upping the suspense just when things seemed to settle. With impeccable timing, Jo dragged the main cast deeper into the chaos of Karma.

🎥 Behind the Scenes with the Cast

The production team also dropped some behind-the-scenes cuts featuring Jo Jin-woong and the lead cast including Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Lee Hee-jun, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon.

While the drama is full of intense, tangled relationships, the BTS photos captured a completely different vibe — laughter and teamwork on set.

🌍 'Karma' Dominates Netflix Charts

Since its release, Karma has climbed to No. 5 on Netflix's Global Top 10 (Non-English Series). The gripping crime thriller continues to captivate viewers worldwide.
