Son Suk-ku returns to the second season of Netflix s D.P., which is based on the webcomic D.P. DOG S DAY written by Kim Bo-Tong. The story relates the experiences of the mandatory military service in South Korea.

D.P. Season 2 comes on the heels of Son Suk-ku s most recent Disney+ record-breaking Korean drama, BIG BET Season 2, which raked in the highest viewership on the Disney+ platform during its inaugural week in February 2023, surpassing all previous Korean original content on the streaming service.

Directed by Han Jun-hee, Jung Hae-in, Koo Gyo-hwan, Kim Sung-kyun, Ji Jin-hee, Kim Ji-hyun and Choi Hyun-wook star together with Son Suk-ku and form the main cast of D.P. Season 2.

Son Suk-ku currently stars in ARMY ON A TREE, a Korean theatre production based on the work of the late Japanese writer Hisashi Inoue. ARMY ON A TREE, which runs till August 5, 2023, tells the true story of a veteran soldier and an army recruit (played by Son Suk-ku). While hidden in a Gajumaru tree from 1945 until March 1947 and unaware of Japan s defeat in Okinawa, their extraordinary tale of survival is a test of endurance, hope, and the complexities of human nature during times of extreme adversity, which invites audiences to reflect on the implications of war.

Dominating both the big and small screens in Korea, Son Suk-ku of Spackman Media Group garnered unparalleled rankings and viewership in his productions with lead roles in BIG BET Season 2, THE ROUNDUP, which was the top box office performing film of 2022, and MY LIBERATION NOTES, the K-drama that caused a syndrome throughout Korea in 2022.

Son Suk-ku ranked first among the 50 actors, surpassing other renowned actors including Song Joong-ki, Ma Dong-seok, Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Hye-soo.

In February of this year, he secured the coveted top spot in the 2023 MALE ACTORS TO WATCH survey conducted by Cine21, a prestigious weekly film magazine in Korea.
