Park Hyung Sik and Heo Joon Ho's SBS drama Treasure Island is scheduled to premiere in 2025.  

Treasure Island tells the story of a man who hacks into an account holding 2 trillion won of political slush funds to survive. In a turn of events, he is killed by a secret force. However, he comes back alive, with all his memories lost. 

The script is written by Lee Myung Hee, and Military Prosecutor Doberman director Jin Chang Gyu takes the helm. 

Park Hyung Sik will play Seo Dong Ju, the head of external affairs at the secretary's office of Daesan Group's chairman. Everyone says that "Seo Dong Ju lives and dies for Daesan's benefit," but deep down, he hides a burning ambition to seize control of the entire company if the opportunity arises. His character is meticulous and fiercely ambitious. 

Heo Joon Ho will portray Yeom Jang Seon, a former head of the National Intelligence Service and now a distinguished professor at a law school, who is the true power behind the scenes, controlling the kingmaker.  

Yeom Jang Seon is a character who feels a euphoric thrill when he wields money and power as he pleases, and believes the only way for him to survive is through controlling everyone around him like marionettes.

This character is expected to be one of the most powerful and commanding figures portrayed by Heo Joon Ho.

Treasure Island is scheduled to air on SBS in 2025. More news about the K-drama's global OTT service is yet to come.
