[NEWS] 'Connection' Actor Heeje Yoo Faces Tightening Net of Ji Sung! "Gong Jinwook Revealed as the Middleman!"

The net around actor Heeje Yoo in 'Connection' is closing in.

In the 7th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Connection,' which aired on the 14th, Gong Jinwook (played by Heeje Yoo) was shown being pursued by Jang Jaekyung (played by Ji Sung) and Yoon Sa-jang (played by Baek Ji-won).

Jang Jaekyung's pursuit has brought him right to Gong Jinwook's doorstep. The pressure on Gong Jinwook increased as wanted posters with his sketch were distributed. While on the run, Gong Jinwook warned his colleagues, "Yoon Sa-jang might use this as an excuse to deal directly with the Doctor. If the Doctor finds out, who knows how he might react. Be careful. No new deals, just stick to the existing ones."

Despite his caution, one of Gong Jinwook's associates was eventually arrested by the police. As his subordinate expressed concern about the next deal with Yoon Sa-jang, Gong Jinwook quickly took control of the situation, instructing, "Find a place to hide. I'll contact you again." Meanwhile, Yoon Sa-jang revealed Gong Jinwook's identity to Kim Chang-soo (played by Jung Jae-kwang) by saying, "The middleman is Gong Jinwook, and the Doctor is the manufacturer."

With Gong Jinwook's once-hidden identity gradually coming to light, Heeje Yoo portrayed the character's quick decision-making and situational awareness under increasing pressure. His deep voice and intense acting kept viewers thoroughly engaged.

Additionally, the 7th episode of 'Connection' recorded a 9.8% viewership rating in the metropolitan area and 9.4% nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea, making it the top program across all channels on Friday.

Meanwhile, the 8th episode of 'Connection,' featuring Heeje Yoo, will air on the 15th at 10 PM KST.
