Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho have officially been confirmed for the highly anticipated SBS drama ‘Treasure Island,’ set to premiere in 2025.
The upcoming SBS drama ‘Treasure Island’ (written by Lee Myung-hee, directed by Jin Chang-gyu, and produced by A2Z Entertainment and Pureumir Factory) centers on a man who hacks into a political slush fund worth 2 trillion won to secure his survival and a covert power broker who unknowingly kills him, resulting in the loss of the entire sum. With Lee Myung-hee, known for ‘Money Flower,’ and Jin Chang-gyu, acclaimed for ‘Military Prosecutor Doberman,’ at the helm, ‘Treasure Island’ promises to be one of the most intense and gripping dramas of 2025.
On the 13th, it was announced that Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho will play the leading roles, sparking considerable excitement. Park Hyung-sik will portray Seo Dong-joo, the head of the external cooperation team at the Daesan Group Chairman’s Office. While outwardly a loyal Daesan man, Seo Dong-joo is a character with deep-seated ambition, concealing his plan to take over Daesan when the chance arises.

Heo Jun-ho will play Yeom Jang-seon, a law school professor emeritus and former head of the National Intelligence Service who manipulates power from behind the scenes. Yeom Jang-seon is a character who derives immense satisfaction from controlling money and power, seeing himself as the puppet master of everyone around him. His role is anticipated to be a formidable presence, dominating both the narrative and the audience.
A veteran actor with a commanding presence, Heo Jun-ho has earned acclaim through his roles in ‘Silmido,’ ‘Default,’ ‘Escape from Mogadishu,’ ‘Noryang: Deadly Sea,’ ‘All In,’ ‘Kingdom,’ and ‘Why Her.’ His performance in ‘Treasure Island’ is highly anticipated to be a showcase of his exceptional acting skills.
