In SBS 'Doctor X: Era of the White Mafia', Kim Ji-won volunteers to perform a perilous surgery to remove a bullet from inside a head.

The SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Era of the White Mafia' (produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon, and HighZium Studio; hereafter 'Doctor X') is a refreshing medical noir depicting the activities of 'the Mad Ace of the Operating Room,' Dr. Gye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), who uses genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise to crush massive corruption. Amidst hot acclaim and an explosive response, the series continues its 'Doctor X Syndrome' both domestically and internationally, sweeping the No. 1 spot on Netflix's weekly 'Global Top 10 Non-English Shows' (Tudum, based on 10/12–10/18) for two consecutive weeks, and ranking No. 1 in both integrated TV-OTT and cast popularity categories (FUNdex, based on 10/12–10/18).

In the previous episode 5, Gye Su-jeong (Kim Ji-won) delivered a satisfying retribution to Na Dae-il (Jang Seung-jo), who trampled on bioethics and committed shameless acts. After personally performing Na Dae-il's surgery, Gye Su-jeong delivered a chilling warning, saying, "From now on, if you are sick or injured, the surgeon will unconditionally be me," and "I open your body, and I close it. I'll play with you until you're tattered," showcasing her side as a 'medical dark hero' and providing intense catharsis. Following this, her return to surgery from the emergency room after signing a formal contract with Guseodae Hospital was depicted, raising expectations for the future activities of the 'Mad Ace of the Operating Room,' Gye Su-jeong.

Meanwhile, the production of 'Doctor X' has released a pre-release video for episode 6 containing Gye Su-jeong's radical declaration to perform the surgery, heightening interest in the upcoming broadcast.

The released video draws attention by starting with the medical staff of Guseodae Hospital gathered for a surgical conference, facing a tense confrontation over whether to proceed with surgery for a patient with a brain gunshot wound. Professor Hwang (Kang Hak-su) raises his voice in frustration over the high-difficulty surgery with slim success chances, saying, "You're telling us to take the fall," and "Is it anything other than being handed a surgery where there is no guarantee the patient will leave the operating room in one piece, but instead faces table death or becomes a vegetable?"

Professor Jang (Lim Chul-hyung) also strongly protests, asking why they must perform a surgery that the whole world will watch with folded arms, shouting, "Who is going to do it!" As it is a surgery where success cannot be guaranteed, tension fills the room as no one steps forward. At this moment, Gye Su-jeong bursts into the conference hall with her hand raised high and changes the atmosphere instantly by boldly shouting, "Me! I will perform the surgery!"

In a situation where everyone is hesitant due to the burden of failure, Gye Su-jeong's unpredictable actions, which cannot hide her passion for surgery, stimulate curiosity. Expectations are soaring to see whether Gye Su-jeong can successfully complete the ultra-high-difficulty brain surgery that everyone avoids and once again prove her overwhelming surgical skills in this unpredictable situation.

SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Era of the White Mafia' broadcasts episode 6 tonight (24th) at 9:50 PM.
