On the 5th, his agency Big Picture ENT announced, "Kim Ji-hoon-I has been cast in the Coupang Play series "Affair Is Not The Problem"". Having consistently pushed his boundaries with every project, Kim Ji-hoon-I is set to showcase yet another powerful transformation and commanding presence".

"Affair Is Not The Problem" (directed by Lee Chang-hee, written by Jung Eun-kyung and Park Soo-rin) is a black comedy that follows a popular influencer couple who have built their brand on a picture-perfect family image, and a neighboring doctor couple locked in a mud-slinging divorce battle. As the two couples become entangled in an unbearable secret that makes even infidelity seem trivial, the story spirals into a chain of explosive collisions.

Kim Ji-hoon-I plays Jae-hong, the husband of Kyeong-hee (Kim Hye-soo), an actor who lives in the shadow of his highly successful wife. Known for his reliability and depth, Kim Ji-hoon-I is expected to anchor the drama with a dominant presence as the characters' desires hurtle toward their extremes.

Kim Ji-hoon-I has proven his wide-ranging acting spectrum across dramas, variety shows, and multiple genres. Last year alone, he appeared in a string of buzzworthy projects, including SBS's Friday–Saturday drama "The Haunted Palace", Amazon Prime Video's Butterfly, Netflix's "Genie, Make a Wish", TVING's "Dear X", tvN's Monday–Tuesday drama "Nice to Not Meet You", and Netflix's variety show "Crime Scene Zero", firmly cementing his peak-era momentum.

Riding this wave, he won Best Actor (Fantasy) at the 2025 SBS Drama Awards, Top Acting Award (Drama) at the 45th Golden Cinematography Awards, and Best Actor (OTT) at the 2025 Seoul International Film Awards. This past January, he was also honored with the Multitainer Award at the 2026 Korea First Brand Awards, solidifying his status as one of the defining actors of 2026.

With every project revealing a new side of him, anticipation is high for what kind of transformation Kim Ji-hoon-I will deliver in "Affair Is Not The Problem".

Meanwhile, the Coupang Play series "Affair Is Not The Problem" is scheduled for release in 2026.
