The new KBS coming-of-age romantic comedy series "Police University" starring Cha Tae Hyun, Jinyoung, and Krystal recently aired its much-awaited fifth episode.
Interestingly, the latest episode highlights not only Krystal and Jinyoung's budding romance but also Cha Tae Hyun's melancholic past.
Yoo Dong Man and Kang Seon Ho's Investigation Begins
In the previous episode, Yoo Dong Man, played by actor Cha Tae Hyun, desperately asked Kang Seon Ho, played by B1A4 member Jinyoung, for his help to catch the culprit who harmed his subordinate detective.
With this, Kang Seon Ho deliberately decided to lend his hacking skills to the poor professor in order to find the criminals. Since Yoo Dong Man is an experienced detective, Kang Seon Ho thought that he would be a huge help to him to expand his knowledge and experience as an aspiring police officer.
Law professor Kwon Hyuk Pil, played by actor Lee Jong Hyuk, becomes the duo's prime suspect. Luckily, the law professor cooperated with them whole-heartedly.
