Actor Lee Je-hoon is set to deliver an unexpected transformation as he steps onto a music broadcast stage in SBS’s hit Friday–Saturday drama Taxi Driver 3.
In Episode 9, Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) infiltrated an entertainment agency as a disguised manager in order to punish a corrupt system that coerced girl group trainees into sponsorship meetings—driving one trainee to the brink of tragedy. As tensions rise, Do-gi finds himself dangerously close to being exposed while investigating whether CEO Kang Joo-ri (played by Jang Na-ra) is directly involved.
Ahead of Episode 10, the production team released stills that instantly captured attention. In a shocking twist, “Manager Do-gi” appears on an actual music show stage, performing alongside the girl group Elements, whom he is supposed to be managing.
In the released images, Lee Je-hoon radiates charisma comparable to an active idol. Wearing a rehearsal name-tag vest—an unmistakable symbol of music shows—he shows off refreshing visuals, crisp dance lines, and flawless synchronization with the group members.
The highlight? His perfectly executed idol-style ending pose, complete with double-hand hearts, which adds a playful charm and sparks laughter among viewers.
Fans are now eager to find out how Do-gi ends up on stage—and what role this performance plays in exposing the villains behind the scenes.
Episode 10, airing on December 20 at 9:50 PM KST, will depict Elements’ long-awaited debut day. However, behind the dazzling stage lights, a shocking truth is set to surface, revealing CEO Kang Joo-ri’s brutal double life and the full extent of her exploitation.
As always, Do-gi and the Rainbow Heroes prepare to strike back—this time against villains who prey on young people’s dreams for profit. Viewers can expect both thrilling justice and biting social commentary, hallmarks of Taxi Driver 3.
