The upcoming MBC drama "Bad Papa" is about a man who decides to become a bad man to be a good father. It is about the dreams, love and family of this man.

Ha Jun takes on the role of Lee Min-woo, a top ranking middleweight martial arts fighter with good looks and climactic skills who is in the peak of his career. He is rivals with Yoo Ji-cheol (Jang Hyuk), who he wants to fight again after a lousy last match before Ji-cheol retired.

Pictures of Lee Min-woo conquering his opponent in the ring were released. He's covered in sweat and all scarred up, but he's not tired yet and flies a knee kick at his reclining opponent. In the end, he achieves a KO and all the staff celebrate his victory while Min-woo roars in joy.

Ha Jun has been training hard for this role. He's been learning Muay Thai and Jujitsu since "The Outlaws" and for stronger look, he's been working on building muscles up to 6-7 hours a day. He's been dieting on sweet potatoes and chicken breast salads to control his body and with the help of Gil Hyun-kwon from the Korean Top Team, he's been learning the techniques of martial arts fighting.

Ha Jun said, "I was worried about this character because it's a first. However, I decided to challenge myself. The atmosphere around the set is really good so I was able to relax and take it easy".

Meanwhile, "Bad Papa" is starting on the 1st of October.
