What was Hierarchy actor Kim Jae-Won’s role in King the Land K-drama?
Before his appearance in the recent Netflix K-drama Hierarchy, Kim Jae-Won played a supporting role in the popular drama King The Land. The latter series, led by Lee Jun-Ho and Im Yoon-Ah, follows the story of Gu Won, the charming heir of the King Group, who navigates an inheritance struggle and cannot stand fake smiles. He crosses paths with Cheon Sa-Rang, an employee at King Hotel, who helps him cope with his past and create happy memories together.
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-Won essays the role of Le Ro-Woon. The character is a flight attendant at King Air and has a crush on Sa-Rang’s friend and fellow flight attendant, Oh Pyung-Hwa (Go Won-Hee). Throughout their career, Ro-Woon supports Pyung-Hwa and also helps her escape a rather toxic relationship. Eventually, he becomes a part of the larger friend group with Gu-Won, Sa-Rang, Kang Da-Eul (Kim Ga-Eun), and Noh Sang-Sik (Ahn Se-Ha).
In Hierarchy, Kim Jae-Won plays the role of Jooshin Group heir Kim Ri-An, who is in a relationship with popular student Jeong Jae-Yi (Roh Jeong-Eui). He gets off on the wrong foot with scholarship student Kang-Ha (Lee Chae-Min) after the latter suspects him of killing his twin brother.
