Lee Jong Suk's first K-drama since confirming IU relationship showcases his powerful visuals in celebrated new avatar, watch sneak peek
In the heart of Seoul's legal district, five associate attorneys are gearing up to bring order and justice in tvN's upcoming legal drama Law and the City. Starring Lee Jong Suk as Ahn Ju Hyeong and Moon Ga Young as Kang Hui Ji, alongside Kang You Seok, Ryu Hye Young, and Im Seong Jae, the series offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of junior lawyers balancing the chaos of courtroom battles with their struggles.
A newly released teaser offers a sneak peek into a seemingly simple but telling moment: the five attorneys sharing a quiet meal in a bustling restaurant. Amidst the rush of a hectic Monday, this short 35-second clip captures the camaraderie and subtle realities of their demanding jobs. This teaser was released amid Lee Jong Suk's breakup rumor with IU.
Putting past dating rumors aside, now that Lee Jong Suk's relationship with IU has been confirmed, Law and the City is poised to mark a strong new chapter in his career. Known for his compelling roles in legal dramas, this series will be his first project since going public with IU. Fans can look forward to seeing him take on the role of a powerful lawyer, stepping confidently into the world of law and action with a fresh and dynamic new persona.
The teaser is a warm introduction to the drama's core — five young lawyers navigating the pressures and triumphs of life at Johwa Law Firm, located in Seocho-dong, Seoul's legal hub. Through tough cases and personal trials, these characters forge strong bonds over shared meals, supporting each other through thick and thin.
At the center is Ahn Ju Hyeong, a seasoned ninth-year lawyer known for his sharp logic and record-breaking salary, but who remains emotionally detached from the ideals of justice. Unlike most, he never bought into the notion that lawyers should protect the vulnerable or change the world.
On the flip side, Kang Hui Ji is a lively, outgoing junior associate who thrives on human connection. Her belief is simple but powerful: changing one person's life can change their entire world. Honest and confident, she navigates the legal world with passion and heart, bringing warmth to the firm's dynamics.
With IU's dating confirmation and the teaser for Law and the City released, it looks like Lee Jong Suk is gearing up for a powerful comeback.

IU defamation case: Woman accused of slander faces additional 3 million KRW fine for repeated offence
In a recent court ruling, a woman in her 40s was held accountable for her actions against IU, which included posting defamatory comments about her. While presenting the verdict, the court took into consideration the woman's prior conviction for a similar offense against the singer in 2022. As a result, the offender was ordered to pay a hefty fine. The latest development in the case was reported by K-media outlet The Korea Herald on June 5. IU's second-time offender slapped with 3 million KRW fine The Seoul Central District Court found the defendant, referred to as Kim, guilty of the crime of slander and ordered her to pay a fine of 3 million KRW (2,200 USD). The charges against Kim stemmed from her alleged posting of s*xually offensive comments about IU, and accusing that IU's agency, Edam Entertainment, bribed judges to rule in favour of them in the previous case. Kim however, claimed that she did not mention any names in the concerned comments, and argued that they were too vague to be linked to IU and did not damage her reputation. However, the court ruled against her, taking into account her similar previous offence three years ago. The court offered IU's defamor leniency The Seoul Court issued a lenient sentence for Kim due to her being already indicted with similar charges and facing legal consequences for the same. Kim received the same fine for her current offense as she did for her previous offense against IU in 2022. As for IU's side, they revealed that the When Life Gives You Tangerines actress did not forgive her offender and thus, the court hearing proceeded as scheduled. Kim's previous offence against IU Kim's previous online attack against IU was in April 2022, and it involved posting derogatory comments about her singing and fashion sense. Despite Kim's claim that her comments were merely a reflection of her personal taste and that her language skills were limited due to a mental health issue, the court found her guilty and imposed a fine of 3 million KRW in December 2023. From then till date, Edam Entertainment has been vigorously taking legal action against individuals who post malicious comments about IU. By November, the agency had initiated criminal proceedings against 180 individuals.
