[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama 'Hyena' is approaching its final episode on the afternoon of the 11th, and the two lead actors, Kim Hyesoo and Joo Jihoon, shared their thoughts on the conclusion.

'Hyena' has been loved for its unique characters and the ever-changing relationships between them, unlike anything seen before on home screens. As the series nears its end, Kim Hyesoo and Joo Jihoon expressed their feelings about saying goodbye to 'Hyena.'

Kim Hyesoo returned to the home screen after four years as Jeong Geumja, a tenacious lawyer who stops at nothing to win. Jeong Geumja’s exploits provided viewers with thrilling entertainment every week, and everyone cheered for Kim Hyesoo’s acting skills in portraying her.

The special charm of Jeong Geumja was also the reason Kim Hyesoo chose to start 'Hyena.' Kim Hyesoo said, "Like all characters, Jeong Geumja is especially impressive, so I was very attached to her. The chemistry among all the staff and actors was great, and the atmosphere on set was always good. It still doesn’t feel real that it’s the last episode," she shared her thoughts on the finale.

She also expressed gratitude to the viewers, saying, "Thank you to the viewers who have been avidly watching 'Hyena.' I hope the broadcast remains enjoyable until the very end."

Joo Jihoon appeared as Yoon Heejae, a sheltered lawyer who has only walked the path of an elite. Especially as the greenhouse around him gradually breaks and Yoon Heejae awakens to the outside world, passionate viewers cheered on his transformation. His straightforward, pure-hearted younger man persona toward Jeong Geumja even earned him the nickname 'Keyring Man,' delivering excitement to viewers every moment.

Regarding this, Joo Jihoon said, "The character Yoon Heejae received so much love. I am grateful because I could feel with my whole body how much the viewers are enjoying 'Hyena.' It is a rewarding moment as an actor," expressing his appreciation for the viewers’ love.

He added, "I will come back with works that you can enjoy happily in the future," hinting at returning with good projects.

In the ending of episode 15 aired on the 10th, Jeong Geumja is pushed to a critical moment, bleeding from her hand after an assailant’s attack, and Yoon Heejae prepares his final move to bring down Song Piljoong (Lee Kyungyoung). Their final story can be seen on SBS at 10 PM on the 11th.
