In the upcoming series Chief Detective 1958, Lee Je Hoon takes on the role of a younger Park Young Han, the titular chief detective originally portrayed by Choi Bool Am in the classic series. The first teaser, freshly unveiled, kicks off with a nostalgic flashback to the 300th episode of the original Chief Inspector series. Here, Detective Park rallies his dedicated team with a determined command, “Fire up! We need to find the criminal no matter what!”
The teaser then transitions to the new, younger version of the same four-member squad in 1958, accompanied by the caption, “The legendary Detective Park is coming back!” Lee Je Hoon's voice echoes as he declares, "Let's start everything from the beginning." Amidst glimpses of the two different versions of the famous TV detective, the 1958 Park Young Han is introduced as a skillful young rookie who has maintained the highest success rate in catching petty thieves for the past three years. There are numerous parallels between the original show and its prequel, and viewers witness Lee Je Hoon embodying the iconic main character from the 1971 series.
Meanwhile, the second teaser opens with a clip from the concluding episode of Chief Inspector, which wrapped up its long and successful run in 1989. As the footage showcases glimpses of the 1958 squad in action, the young Park Young Han played by Lee Je Hoon inquires, “Do you know who I am?” Following the caption teasing, “The four of them came together to catch the bad guys,” Detective Park from both eras declare, “If you commit a crime, you’ll be punished no matter what!” Chief Detective 1958 is all set to premiere on April 19 at 9:50 PM KST.
