“RACE” Clocks-In Exclusive Streaming On Disney+ In May

Korean workplace dramedy, RACE, inked its launch date on May 10 on Disney+!

RACE follows Park Yoon-jo as she pursues her career despite having no formal education.

She meets her inspiration after landing a position in the public relations department of a prominent corporation, where she also gains insight into the world of marketing.

What Park Yoon-jo lacks in qualifications and experience she more than makes up for in tenacity and drive, but when everyone in the company discovers that several recent hires were made as part of a newly created diversity program, Yoonjo will have to overcome the insurmountable to win their approval.

Park Yoon-jo has spent her entire career trying to prove that she belongs. Born into a family without means, she was unable to secure a university degree or lean upon her family connections to get ahead, but with her limitation in formal education, she compensates well for her work ethic.

The series stars Lee Yeon Hee (New Year Blues, Welcome to Wedding Hell) as “diversity hire” Park Yoon-jo; Moon So Ri (The Handmaiden, Seoul Vibe) as Goo Yi-jung, the leading voice in the PR industry; Hong Jong Hyun (Moon Lovers) as Yoonjo’s friend Ryu Jae-min; and Jung Yun Ho (Dating On Earth) as CEO of Earth Communication Seo Dong-hoon.

RACE is written by acclaimed screenwriter Kim Roo-ri (Hyena, The Ace) and directed by Lee Dong-yoon (She Would Never Know, 20th Century Boy and Girl).

RACE premieres on May 10, only on Disney+.
