[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] What fate awaits Lee Jun-young and Son Hyun-joo in "New Employee Chairman Kang"?

The conclusion of the succession battle at the Choi Sung-ga Group is set to unfold in the upcoming episode of JTBC’s Saturday-Sunday drama *New Employee Chairman Kang* (Chairman Kang), airing on the 4th.
“Chairman Kang” has delivered intense thrills and heartwarming moments by depicting Chairman Kang Yong-ho’s (played by Son Hyun-joo) second chance at life. After an unexpected accident, Kang Yong-ho finds himself inhabiting the body of a young man, Hwang Jun-hyun (played by Lee Jun-young). As a new employee at Choi Sung Group, he demonstrates the poise and authority of a chairman, delivering thrilling catharsis while also leaving a deep, lingering impression as he rediscovers the true feelings of family members he had previously overlooked.
Additionally, the fierce rivalry among Kang Yong-ho’s youngest daughter Kang Bang-geul (played by Lee Ju-myung), eldest daughter Kang Jae-kyung (played by Jeon Hye-jin), and eldest son Kang Jae-sung (played by Jin-gu) has unfolded in an unpredictable manner, firmly capturing viewers’ attention. With the series nearing its finale, we’ve highlighted the final key points to watch that will make the story of the Choi Sung family even more intriguing.
First, the soul swap between Kang Yong-ho and Hwang Jun-hyun remains an unsolved mystery right up until the very end. While Kang Yong-ho has woken up in Hwang Jun-hyun’s body and is living as a new employee at Choi Sung Group, Hwang Jun-hyun has yet to regain consciousness in Kang Yong-ho’s body.
Amid this, as villains who wish for Chairman Kang Yong-ho’s death begin to emerge one by one, Kang Yong-ho’s body—now inhabited by Hwang Jun-hyun’s soul—has faced numerous life-threatening situations. Currently, under the leadership of his eldest son, Kang Jae-sung, he has been secretly taken out of the hospital to receive treatment, but the sense of crisis is escalating by the day. Will Kang Yong-ho and Hwang Jun-hyun be able to regain their original bodies? Curiosity is mounting regarding the conclusion of this soul-swap storyline.
Meanwhile, the malicious schemes of Taeha Group—an unwelcome intruder in the Choi Sung Group succession battle—are still unfolding. Taeha Group Chairman Na Byeong-mo (played by Jung Jae-sung) has long had his sights set on the Choi Sung Group, having arranged for his daughter, Na Eun-se (played by Lee Seo-an), to marry Kang Yong-ho’s eldest son, Kang Jae-sung. As soon as Chairman Kang Yong-ho was confined to his sickbed, Na Byeong-mo approached Kang Jae-kyung and Kang Jae-sung as if he had been waiting for this moment, steadily expanding his influence over the Choi Sung Group.
While Taeha Group Chairman Na Byeong-mo took a calculated approach, his daughter Na Eun-se took bold action. Disguised as Kang Jae-kyung, Na Eun-se removed the respirator from Kang Yong-ho, who was lying in his hospital bed, and framed Kang Jae-kyung—who had just been appointed as the new chairman—for the crime, driving her into a corner. This heightens curiosity about just how far Taeha Group’s rampage will go.
Finally, the future of Choi Sung Group is another key point to watch. Although Kang Jae-kyung has now established herself as the new chairwoman of Choi Sung Group, the Choi Sung family—including Kang Yong-ho, Kang Bang-geul, and Kang Jae-sung—as well as rival Taeha Group are all pressuring her as they engage in a final showdown.
Amidst this, Kang Yong-ho and Kang Bang-geul have been falsely accused, Kang Jae-kyung and Kang Jae-sung have committed irreversible crimes, and Taeha Group has not hesitated to commit murder. Since no one can claim innocence, all eyes are on who will ultimately secure the succession at Cheoseong Group and how it will all play out.
“Chairman Kang” is a “remind life” story drama about the chairman of a leading conglomerate—known as the “God of Business”—who is forced to live a second, unwanted life after suffering an accident. It airs on the 4th at 10:40 p.m., with the finale airing on the 5th at 10:30 p.m.
