[E-Daily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Lee Jun-young faces his biggest crisis yet in the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama “New Employee Chairman Kang.”

In Episode 11, airing today (the 4th), Kang Yong-ho (played by Son Hyun-joo), the chairman of Choi Sung Group who has been living in the body of new employee Hwang Jun-hyun (played by Lee Jun-young), falls into a trap set by his longtime rival, Tae Ha Group Chairman Na Byung-mo (played by Jung Jae-sung), foreshadowing a tense showdown.
Until now, Kang Yong-ho has been struggling to protect Choi Sung Group while living a new life as Hwang Jun-hyun. He has not only resolved the management crises caused by his children one after another but also shouldered the burden of allegations regarding his eldest son Kang Jae-sung’s (played by Jin-gu) slush fund, sacrificing himself for the group and his family.
But this time, the situation is different. Na Byung-mo, who has long been hatching a meticulous plan to take over the Choi Sung Group, has begun to act directly. He is the man who has been orchestrating the succession game—including arranging for his daughter, Na Eun-se (played by Lee Seo-an), to marry into the Choi Sung Group—and this time, he is going head-to-head by resorting to the extreme measure of kidnapping Hwang Yong-ho.
The released stills show Hwang Jun-hyun in Na Byung-mo’s custody, heightening the tension. Though he faces a crisis—bound to a chair with a face covered in wounds—the standoff between Hwang Jun-hyun, who confronts his captor with an unwavering gaze, and Na Byung-mo, who pressures him with a ruthless expression, creates a palpable sense of tension.
In particular, this kidnapping incident is expected to cause significant repercussions for the succession race at Choi Sung Group. With Hwang Jun-hyun—who has emerged as a key variable in the succession race—now in crisis, all eyes are on how the group’s power dynamics will be reshaped.
Episode 11 of “New Employee Chairman Kang” will air on the 4th at 10:40 p.m.
