MBC's office drama "The Banker" began on the 27th. On the first episode, Noh Dae-ho (Kim Sang-joong) created a cooperative association with residents to prevent the closure of the Gongju branch, and was appointed as an auditor of the main branch. Noh Dae-ho showed the human side of a banker armed with his cold-heartedness in preventing a bad company getting loans and putting people as priority.

However, viewers say, "He's a good actor, but every time he says something, it's so funny I can't concentrate".

Kim Sang-joon attempted to change the rhythm of his sentences to put him apart from the MC of "The Know" and Noh Dae-ho. The end of his sentences was completely different from his speech in "The Know". In the TV show, he ends his sentences with a firm attitude, but as Noh Dae-ho, his sentences ended with a lower note. However, it was not enough to completely change the style. The viewers felt the awkwardness in his effort to change the rhythm.

Even the change in weight of his speech in "The Know" played a part in his controversy. Kim Sang-joong played a role in the 2017 MBC drama "Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People", a historical drama but it was hard to shake off the MC image. The public has seen several parodies made up with his symbolic, "However" since then.

"The Banker" stars Yoo Dong-geun, Chae Shi-ra and Kim Sang-joong who plays a key character holding the message of the drama.
