Actress Jin Ki Joo transforms into a passionate temporary history teacher in MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School.

Undercover High School tells the story of a National Intelligence Service agent Jung Hae Seong (Seo Kang Joon) who goes undercover as a high school student to track the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong's lost gold bars.  

Jin Ki Joo takes on the role of Oh Soo Ah, a temporary Korean history teacher who will stop at nothing to become a full-time teacher. Soo Ah, with her positive mindset, takes on all sorts of tasks at the request of the vice principal. With her bright and bubbly charm, she carries a cheerful vibe around her. The stills showcase Jin Ki Joo standing at the podium, embodying the character Oh Soo Ah with her neat appearance, polished style, and a touch of loveliness.

Soo Ah's inability to tolerate injustice leads her to become deeply involved in school affairs. Adding to this, her bickering dynamics with Jung Hae Seong (Seo Kang Joon), an NIS student disguised as a student sitting in her class, inject comedy into the story.  

The production team of Undercover High School stated, "Actress Jin Ki Joo is an actress with many different charms. The synergy between her charm and the character of Oh Soo Ah will be extraordinary. Please look forward to how the passionate Oh Soo Ah's eventful school life unfolds and whether she will achieve her goal of becoming a full-time teacher."

 Undercover High School is set to premiere on February 21. News about the K-dramas global OTT platform is yet to come.
