SBS will premiere the office romance drama Nine to Six on Wednesday, November 25, featuring a tense first meeting where Kang I-ji uses a dropped mobile phone to confront Han Seon-u.

Park Min-young and Yook Sung-jae are set to signal an unexpected "hate relationship" as they clash during their very first meeting in the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Nine to Six'.

Scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, November 25, 'Nine to Six' (directed by Lee Hyung-min and Oh Song-hui, written by Choi Ji-o, and produced by Studio S and Samhwa Networks) is an "on-and-off" balance romance. The story follows a rational woman who has lived by proving herself through work, as she meets a kind and emotional man, leading her to rewrite her standards for work, love, and happiness. The office romance is garnering anticipation for adding excitement and warmth to the end of this year.

Park Min-young will play Kang I-ji, a workaholic deputy manager of a legal team who proves herself through her work, while Yook Sung-jae will play Han Seon-u, a man with kind and emotional charms. The two are expected to showcase heart-fluttering chemistry as an older woman and a younger man.

Stills capturing the first meeting between Kang I-ji (Park Min-young) and Han Seon-u (Yook Sung-jae) have been released, drawing significant attention. The images of the two appearing to engage in a psychological probe pique curiosity.

In the released stills, Kang I-ji observes Han Seon-u with a sharp gaze while tilting her head. She soon blocks his path, heightening intrigue. In particular, the mobile phone held in Kang I-ji's hand catches the eye. It is revealed that Kang I-ji is using the phone, which Han Seon-u dropped, as leverage while reciting legal clauses, displaying the decisive gaze and attitude of a highly competent legal team professional.

In response, Han Seon-u cannot hide his bewilderment, his eyes widening in surprise. He points to himself, appealing his sense of unfairness. Han Seon-u appears unable to move against the sharp Kang I-ji, signaling an unexpected "hate relationship" that triggers a strange sense of excitement.

As interest builds regarding the confrontation between Kang I-ji and Han Seon-u in the middle of the street, curiosity is stirred as to why the two ended up building misunderstandings and leaving the worst possible first impressions on each other from their very first encounter.

The new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Nine to Six' will have its first broadcast on Wednesday, November 25, at 9:00 PM.
