In any hero movie, there will always be a villain to battle the hero. And sometimes, like in Batman, there will be someone who is an unknown. You don’t know which side he would end up, the good or the bad. So like when playing cards, he is the joker.
In Park Sihoo-ssi’s new drama “Neighborhood Hero”, it is the same. There is the villain and the joker. As I have earlier introduced the motley crew of neighborhood heroes led by their leader, Baek Siyoon, I now present you with the villain and the joker.
The Villain, Yoon Sangmin, a developer
Yoon Sangmin is a 40-year old second generation Korean-American living in New York. Faced with discrimination and violence growing up as a child in the streets, he learned taekwondo and kungfu to defend himself from the tugs in his rough neighborhood. Now, as an adult, he lives a polished life, sporting expensive suits and luxurious living. A sharp, keen eyed business man and investor, his life ambition is to amass a huge personal fortune, by whatever means.
Not content with the fortune he has made, he desires for more and has bigger dreams. His new focus is to develop the cultural street in the neighborhood of “Bar 이웃” . Nothing can stand in his way. Being unscrupulous, he believes that if money cannot solve issues, then violence will be just fine, as long as everything gets swept clean afterwards. He is the neighborhood villain!

The Joker, Jung Soohyuk, a secret agent team leader
Jung Soohyuk is a 48 year-old senior secret agent who used to be Baek Siyoon’s team leader. He headed the Hong Kong secret service command centre three years ago, at the time of Baek Siyoon’s tragic mission in Macau. A loyal patriot, he believes the chain of command is the foundation of a solid secret service organisation and requires obedience from his team.
After the Macau mission, he returned to live a quiet life in Korea. When Baek Siyoon reappeared before him wanting to embark on a dangerous mission, Jung Soohyuk warned him against it. His advice was the organisation was more important than the individual. The outcome of the Macau mission was inevitable.

There, the villain and the joker. Together with the motley crew and their leader, life in the neighborhood will be most interesting!
歹徒和滑稽之人
在任何英雄电影中,总会有一个歹徒,这样英雄就可以把他打败。有时,像蝙蝠侠里,还会有一个未知数的人物。你不知道他站在那一方,好或坏。因此,像打牌的时候,他就是滑稽之人。
施厚君的新剧“邻家英雄”也是一样。有歹徒和滑稽之人。正如之前介绍过,由白时允带领下的杂牌军邻家英雄,我在这里介绍剧里的歹徒和滑稽之人。
歹徒 - 尹尚民, 开发商
尹尚民是一位40岁的第二代韩裔美国人,住在纽约。面对歧视和暴力长大的街道孩子,他学会了跆拳道和功夫,来自卫。现在,作为一名成功人士,他穿着昂贵的西装,过着豪华的生活。他是一个尖锐狠毒,利用权利和暴力取利益的商人和投资者。生活欲望是以不择手段积累巨大的个人财富。
不满足于他目前庞大的财富,他还想要更多,有更大的梦想。他目前把注意力放在发展“酒吧이웃”附近的文化街。没有什么可以阻挡他的去路。他认为,若钱解决不了的问题,那就用硬的暴力,只要之后一切收拾得干净。他就是邻里的歹徒!
滑稽之人, 郑苏赫, 秘密特工队长
郑苏赫是一名48岁的高级秘密特工,曾经是白时允的领队。三年前,就在白时允在澳门悲惨任务的时侯,他率领香港特工指挥中心。一位忠诚的爱国主义者,他相信指挥链是特务组织的固体基础,团队需要服从。
澳门任务后,他回到韩国过着平静的生活。当白时允再次出现在他的面前,要做出危险的选择时,郑苏赫警告了他。他的提示是组织比起个人更重要。澳门任务的结果是没有办法的。
这就是歹徒和滑稽之人。加上杂牌军和他们的领袖,生活在邻里将会非常有趣!

In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero tries to bend the rules because it suits him to do so, in order to protect his neighbours. He is one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person , who owns up what he is and stands by it. But he has a dangerous opponent in the person of the neighbours’ hero, who finds the strength to endure all the villain’s obstacles , and finally defeat him. And I want to see how the hero, Baek Siyoon, will be able to defeat the villain, Yoon Sangmin.
