Yoon Kye-sang and Jin Sun-kyu, the iconic duo from The Roundup, are teaming up once again—this time for a drama.
📺 From 'The Roundup' to 'UDT'—Dynamic Duo Returns
Coupang Play and Genie TV confirmed on June 10 the casting of their new original drama UDT: Our Neighborhood Task Force (written by Kim Sang-yoon, directed by Jo Woong).
The drama tells the story of everyday heroes. It follows a group of ex-special forces operatives who come together to protect their families and local community.
💥 Meet the Characters
- Yoon Kye-sang plays Choi Kang-yi, a former elite JDD Special Forces agent who now works as an insurance investigator—though he looks like someone who's never served in the military.
- Jin Sun-kyu takes on the role of Kwak Byung-nam, the owner of a hardware/stationery store. A former HID counterterrorism agent, he's now the youth president of Changri-dong.
👊 Action + Humor + Brotherhood
Fans are buzzing about the chemistry between the two stars, who previously lit up the screen in The Roundup as a mob boss and his loyal enforcer.
🎬 Creative Team Behind the Scenes
Director Jo Woong, known for his stylish work on Justice and Respectable Sales, takes the helm. Writer Kim Sang-yoon joins the project to craft a balance of action and heart.
📅 Coming This Fall
UDT: Our Neighborhood Task Force kicks off filming this month and is scheduled for release in the second half of 2025.
