Actor Jang Ki Yong will be making a long-awaited return to the small screen after three years.

On April 2, the production presentation of JTBC's new weekend drama 'I'm Not a Hero' was held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Seoul. Among those present were Jang Ki Yong, Chun Woo Hee, Suhyun, Park So Yi, and director Jo Hyun Tak.

'I'm Not a Hero' tells the story of a man with extraordinary abilities who finally saves the woman of his destiny, a feat no one else could accomplish. Based on a webtoon, the series casts Jang Ki Yong as Bok Gyu, a man who loses his superpowers due to depression.

This project has garnered significant attention as Jang Ki Yong's comeback after completing his military service and a three-year hiatus. Having enlisted on active duty in the army in August 2021, he returned to civilian life in February of last year. His previous project was SBS's 'Now, We Are Breaking Up,' which concluded in January 2022, where he starred alongside Song Hye Kyo.

Reflecting on his return, Jang Ki Yong shared, "Looking back on my 20s, I was incredibly busy. Taking a break for the first time during the one-and-a-half-year hiatus felt necessary. After completing my military service and immersing myself in this project, I felt a newfound sense of peace."

Speaking about the changes after his discharge, he remarked, "In the past, if I was chasing something and feeling anxious, preparing for 'I'm Not a Hero' as my comeback work allowed me to find peace of mind slowly and sometimes leisurely. This experience has shown me what it truly means to have peace of mind."

As for why he chose 'I'm Not a Hero' as his comeback project, Jang Ki Yong explained, "The script intrigued me, and I found the dynamics of the family members with heroes particularly captivating. Additionally, there was the excitement of delivering unexpected performances, even for myself, upon returning to the screen."

JTBC's highly-anticipated weekend drama 'I'm Not a Hero' is set to premiere on the 4th at 10:30 PM.
