Nam Joo Hyuk Is A Dark Hero Chased By Reporter Kim So Jin For Exclusive News In “Vigilante”

Nov 08, 2023

Disney+’s series “Vigilante” has unveiled intense stills featuring Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim So Jin!

Based on a webtoon of the same name, “Vigilante” follows the story of Kim Ji Yong (Nam Joo Hyuk), an exemplary police university student who upholds the law by day but becomes a vigilante by night, taking matters into his own hands against criminals who escape justice.

As Episodes 1 and 2 make their debut today, the newly released stills introduce the new dark hero Vigilante and showcase a high-stakes pursuit involving reporter Choi Mi Ryeo (Kim So Jin), who is eagerly after him to cover his story for an exclusive news feature.

Kim Ji Yong is an exceptional student at the police university, known for his outstanding martial arts skills, academic excellence, and exemplary mindset. At a young age, Kim Ji Yong tragically lost his mother to the violent hands of neighborhood thugs. Witnessing these criminals revert to their unlawful ways even after being granted leniency and released from prison, Kim Ji Yong has since made it his mission to judge criminals who have escaped the law. Since that day, he has led a double life, being a model police student by day and a Vigilante who tracks down and punishes criminals who have evaded justice by night.

Choi Mi Ryeo, a reporter for REPO 25h, has recently discovered that the victims of the recent violent crimes were once criminals released with lenient sentences. She decides to name the mysterious figure who punishes criminals in lieu of the law as ‘Vigilante’ and makes debut coverage of him for the first time on her broadcast. Eager to feature him in an exclusive story, Choi Mi Ryeo intentionally exposes details of criminals who have benefited from light sentences via her broadcasts in the hope of earning Vigilante’s attention.

Meanwhile, as multiple incidents suspected to be connected to Vigilante occur, the police, unable to find any leads on him, create a dedicated investigation team for Vigilante. Jo Heon (Yoo Ji Tae), who is dubbed a “monster” due to his extraordinary strength and unmatched physique, is appointed as the team leader and begins chasing after Vigilante in earnest.
