Park Yoonjo makes up for her lack of qualifications and experience with tenacity and drive. Still, when everyone in the company discovered this, Several recent hires were made as part of a newly created diversity program. Yoonjo will have to overcome the impossible to win their approval in RACE, a new Korean workplace dramedy premiering exclusively on Disney+ on May 10th.

She has spent her entire career trying to prove her worth. Born into a low-income family, Yoonjo was unable to obtain a university degree or rely on family connections to advance, but what she lacks in formal education she more than makes up for in work ethic. RACE follows Yoonjo as she fights her way through a stacked deck to land her dream job at Seyong, a massive Korean corporation. Although it appears that Yoonjo's luck has finally improved, reality quickly proves her wrong, forcing Yoonjo to work harder than ever to overcome the seemingly unattainable and prove to everyone that she belongs where she is.

Moon Sori (The Handmaiden, Seoul Vibe) as Goo Yijung, the leading voice in the PR industry;

Hong Jonghyun (Moon Lovers) as Yoonjo’s friend Ryu Jaemin and Jung Yunho (Dating On Earth) as CEO of Earth Communication Seo Donghoon.



RACE is written by acclaimed screenwriter Kim Roori (Hyena, The Ace) and directed by Lee Dongyoon (She Would Never Know, 20th Century Boy and Girl). RACE joins many other incredible Korean shows available on Disney+, including Call It Love, about a girl driven to vengeance but who falls in love with her potential victim; Soundtrack #1, about two friends who are secretly in love with each other; and Big Bet, about a serial entrepreneur whose life is turned upside down when he is arrested for murder.
