Kim Eui Sung Teases Taxi Driver 3: Debunking “Villain” Rumors, Unshakable Teamwork, And A Backstory-Fueled Season
Actor Kim Eui Sung is back as Jang Sung Cheol—better known as CEO Jang—in the third season of the hit drama Taxi Driver. Continuing as the head of the Bluebird Foundation and the leader of Rainbow Taxi, he once again stands at the heart of the show’s revenge-for-hire operation, a character who moves between light and shadow to protect victims failed by the system.
Addressing the long-running meme that CEO Jang might secretly be the big bad, Kim Eui Sung leaned into the speculation with humor before shutting it down, asking viewers to trust that Jang Sung Cheol is, at his core, a righteous man. It’s a playful nod to years of fan theories—and a reminder that the series thrives on morally complex storytelling.
He also highlighted the cast’s rock-solid chemistry, noting how remarkable it is that the five core members have stayed together through Season 3. That shared affection for the project, he said, is the engine behind their seamless teamwork on screen.
As for what’s ahead, Season 3 will dig into the original driving force behind Rainbow Taxi—tracing why CEO Jang created the revenge service in the first place. Expect a deeper look at the ethos guiding the team’s mission, with personal stakes and origin truths shaping the season’s central conflict.
