Changwok Ji’s second project after serving in the military ‘Backstreet Rooke’ is finally here!

This time, he plays a caring guy who falls in a love with an “evil girl” portrayed by Yoojung Kim, who is 12 years younger than him.

33 year-old Chang ended his national service last year and has been actively making a comeback ever since. After filming ‘Melting Me Softly’, he stars opposite Kim in the upcoming hit drama ‘Backstreet Rookie’.

‘Backstreet Rookie’ is adapted from a popular online manga of the same name.


The manga has a click-rate of 5 million in over a month, accumulative click-rate of up to 57 million. It has even achieved a record-breaking subscriber number of 40 million. The story evolves around the unexpected romance budding between the caring store owner (Changwok Ji) and the mischievous college part-timer (Yoojung Kim), in a 24-hour convenience store.

Netizens are excited to hear Changwok Ji’s comeback, and are anticipating his performance as store owner, Choi.

‘Backstreet Rookie’ will premiere exclusively on iQIYI app on 19th June 2020, 9pm, every Friday and Saturday. VIP members will have access to the drama one week earlier.
