In 2024 he played Jeong Jin-man in Disney+’s A Shop for Killers, the uncle who disappears leaving his niece a dangerous inheritance. 한국일보 wrote that the first season reached number one in Disney+‘s TV show category within a day of release and held it for three straight weeks, and that it was named among the New York Times’ best international TV shows of 2024 and in Time’s four best Korean dramas of that year.

2026

He returned to the role in A Shop for Killers Season 2, released on 22 July 2026 — two and a half years after the first season, as 한국일보 put it. 이투데이 describes the story: Jeong Jin-man, believed dead, stands with his niece Ji-an, now the head of the storefront Murthehelp, against the global mercenary network Babylon. The eight episodes arrived two a week on Wednesdays and finished on 12 August.

The Walt Disney Company Korea said the season that brought Jeong Jin-man back was, on its opening day, the Korean original watched most on Disney+ worldwide (일간스포츠, 25 July). Its buzz rankings and country-by-country record during the run are on the A Shop for Killers Season 2 page.
