tvN drama "Mental Coach Je Gal-gil" which airs in the second half of the year, is a sports drama in which a former national athlete who quit sports after an accident helps players in the slumps, heal retired old veterans and plays a real game against the absurd world of winner-take-all.

Lee Yoo-mi takes on a short track gold medalist named Cha Ga-eul and Kwon Yul, head of the Human Rights Center of the Sports Council, Goo Tae-man.

Cha Soon-bae will be playing the role of Song Ji-man, a senior researcher at the national archery team's psychological support team. He is a strict principleist, but he has a special place in his heart for his players. He is at odds with the way he treats his players in a completely different way. But he also recognizes and supports their abilities.

Cha Soon-bae will work with Jung Woo again after the movie "Hot Blooded" (director Cheon Myeong-gwan) released on the 23rd. "Jung Woo knows exactly how to see through the character", he said adding, "We have different views on mental coaching, but the process of working together as a respectable senior and junior is fun. I hope it will be a healing drama".

It has also been confirmed that Cha Soon-bae will also appear in the TVING dramas "Yonder", KBS 2TV's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Bloody Heart" and the wavve original "Black Out". In "Hot Blooded", he will show his presence as Mr. Ok.
