Actors Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji unite as a determined gym manager and a worried beginner in '24 Hour Gym'

The upcoming KBS 2TV drama '24 Hour Gym,' set to air this year, is a heart-pounding, muscle-building comedy about the determined gym manager Do Hyun-joong, who transforms the lives of worried gym members through sheer tenacity.

'24 Hour Gym' is directed by Park Jun Soo, known for his lively directing in 'Gauss Electronics' and 'The God of Music,' and written by Kim Ji Soo, who showcased her delicate yet cheerful storytelling in 'Postpartum Care Center.' Together, they aim to deliver a fresh and entertaining drama. Lee Jun-young and Jung Eun-ji will also showcase their acting transformations through this production.

Lee Jun Young takes on the role of Do Hyun Joong, a gym manager with a strong will. Hyun Joong, who was born weighing less than a 1.5kg dumbbell, is a character who rewrote his life entirely through exercise. He engages in a fierce survival game as a self-employed trainer competing in the fitness world.

Jung Eun Ji plays Miran, a gym member and a self-proclaimed "Hellin" (a gym beginner). Miran, forced to part ways with her favorite foods and clock in at the gym, faces the most challenging time of her life. Starting her fitness journey out of frustration with love and life, she encounters Hyun Joong, an overly enthusiastic trainer. Whether she can successfully reboot her life through exercise is a key point of interest.

The pairing of Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji alone is enough to excite potential viewers. The duo's chemistry as the passionate trainer and the hesitant gym member is already drawing attention. The drama promises to provide vicarious satisfaction and healing for viewers as the characters grow to love and care for their bodies through exercise.

The production team of '24 Hour Gym' stated, "We are thrilled to showcase the fantastic acting chemistry between Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji in '24 Hour Gym.' The energetic synergy between the determined trainer Lee JunYoung and the worry-prone beginner Jung Eun Ji will bring laughter and excitement to viewers.
