What role does Lee Dong Ha play in Agent Kim Reactivated?
Lee Dong Ha portrays Director Nam, the chief secretary to Joo Hak Construction CEO Joo Kang Chan. The character is played alongside Joo Sang Wook, who portrays the CEO.

Why is Director Nam considered a chilling character?

One specific incident involving a character named “Gold Tooth,” played by Jo Bok Rae, revealed the extent of Director Nam’s violence. In a flashback, the series showed Director Nam performing a brutal act of torture against Gold Tooth after he refused to submit to the CEO. The scene depicted Director Nam pulling out all of the man’s teeth, a detail that left a strong impression on the audience.
