Lee Jin-hee is joining Doctor X: The Age of White Mafia as Cho Won-jin, an anesthesiology professor at Guseodae University Hospital. He works alongside Kim Ji-won's surgeon character in the operating room. The SBS Friday-Saturday drama premieres October 9.

Doctor X follows surgeon Gye Su-jung (Kim Ji-won) as she confronts large-scale hospital corruption without compromise. Cho Won-jin stays calm under pressure and refuses to bend his convictions. How he and Gye Su-jung sync up in surgery becomes a key storyline.
