MBC's "Hero" unveils teaser poster

A teaser poster for MBC TV series "Hero", starring Korean actor Lee Jun-ki, has been released today.

Broadcaster MBC unveiled the teaser poster, which shows Lee peeking through the blinds and carrying the copy "Look forward to exclusive reporting from journalist Jin Do-hyuk!"

Lee plays the role of a passionate reporter working for a third-rate magazine called "Monday Seoul", who investigates for stories through various means such as spying, following and wiretapping.

"In the drama, Do-hyuk is reckless when it comes to reporting," the Hallyu star explained last week at the press conference. "He bravely represents the weak and he sometimes turns paparazzi in the process of searching for the truth."

The drama, about a group of youngsters who rebel and fight against a corrupt society, also stars Kim Min-jeong, Baik Yoon-shik, Um Ki-joon and Shin Joo-ah.

Lee became a household name in 2005 playing a woman-like clown in the hit film "The King and the Clown" and was recently voted the most popular Korean Wave star in China.

"Hero" is set to air in Korea starting November 11.
