Actress Son Naeun has captured attention with her chilling presence, holding a blood-stained knife.

On the 9th, Son Naeun posted several photos from the filming set of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim' on her SNS with the caption, "I am Jung Sang-ah."

In the released photos, Son Naeun shows the urgent situation of her character, Jung Sang-ah, with vivid bruises on her face while holding a blood-stained knife in one hand.

From bank clerk to special agent, a rapidly shifting character identity

In the drama, Jung Sang-ah, played by Son Naeun, initially appears as an assistant manager at Sangsaeng Savings Bank, portraying a trend-sensitive office worker. However, it was recently revealed that she is actually an agent belonging to the Republic of Korea's Special Mission Bureau, who took undercover employment to monitor Manager Kim (played by So Ji-sub).

Since her identity was revealed, Son Naeun has been showcasing a side different from her previous image by performing high-difficulty scenes, including gunfights, close-quarters combat, and knife action.
