Can you believe it’s already June? We’re halfway through the year, and time has flown by faster than we expected. The FIFA World Cup is kicking off this month, which means Korean broadcasters are keeping things light on the drama schedule. Only 5 new K-dramas are premiering this month, but what’s airing is worth your attention, and we’ve got 3 Korean movies rounding out the list too.
Stick around to check out 8 new K-dramas and K-movies for your June 2026 watchlist that you cannot miss!

Where to watch: Disney+ / ENA, every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. KST
Public health doctor Do Ji-eui (Lee Jae-wook) and nurse Yook Ha-ri (Shin Ye-eun), who is hiding a secret, cross paths on a remote island. They end up saving lives and learning about love together.

2. Wild Sing – June 3
Cast: Gang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, Park Ji-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Shin Ha-kyun
Where to watch: Cinemas
TRIANGLE was once a hugely popular co-ed idol group, until an unfortunate incident sent them into obscurity. In the present, leader Hyun-woo (Gang Dong-won), center Do-mi (Park Ji-hyun), and rapper Sang-gu (Um Tae-goo) attempt the messiest comeback you’ll ever see, while perpetual runner-up ballad singer Sung-gon (Oh Jung-se) also gets swept into the chaos. Y2K aesthetics, a banger soundtrack, and washed-up idols give this summer comedy all the right ingredients.
3. Teach You a Lesson – June 5
Cast: Kim Mu-yul, Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-joo, Pyo Ji-hoon (Block B’s P.O)
Where to watch: Netflix, all episodes release at 4 p.m. KST
If you loved Weak Hero and Study Group, and if Juvenile Justice left you wanting more adults to step in and finally do something, this is right up your alley. Set inside a broken school system, the story follows the fictional Educational Rights Protection Bureau (ERPB), a government task force created to investigate school conflicts, reform toxic schools, use unconventional methods to discipline bullies, and bring justice—whether the culprit is a student, a teacher, or a parent. Each episode tackles a different case, and every resolution is so satisfying to watch. Holding the right people accountable matters more than the action sequences.
4. Husbands in Action – June 19
Cast: Jin Seon-kyu, Gong Myung, Kim Ji-seok, Yoon Kyung-ho, Kang Han-na, Lee Da-hee, Jeon So-min
Where to watch: Netflix
Extreme Job fans, Jin Seon-kyu and Gong Myung are back on screen together. Except this time, instead of going undercover selling fried chicken as narcotics detectives, they play an ex-husband and a current husband forced to team up to rescue a kidnapped wife. Jin Seon-kyu plays Chung-sik, a hot-headed narcotics detective, while Gong Myung plays Min-seok, a gentle veterinarian married to Chung-sik’s ex-wife. The two can barely stand each other, but when their wife and daughter get abducted, they have to make it work. The film also promises wild car chases, hand-to-hand combat, and the two men flying in on powered paragliding suits shouting, “We’re here to save you!”
5. See You at Work Tomorrow! – June 22
Cast: Seo In-guk, Park Ji-hyun, Kang Mi-na, Choi Kyung-hoon, Won Gyu-bin
Where to watch: Prime Video / tvN, every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. KST
After Seo In-guk went viral for his role in Boyfriend On Demand with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo—and yes, he’s been a favorite long before that—all eyes are on him in this popular webtoon-based rom-com. Office worker Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun) is stuck in a career rut and ends up getting a fresh start both at work and in her love life after getting tangled up with her prickly boss Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk). Fans of Café Minamdang, the 2022 drama where Seo In-guk and Kang Mi-na played con-artist brother and sharp-tongued younger sister, will be happy to see the two reuniting on screen. But this time, they’re on opposite sides of the boss-employee dynamic. Workplace romance with a grumpy boss? We’re so in.
6. The Eyes – June 24
Cast: Shin Min-a, Kim Nam-hee, Lee Seung-ryong, Kim Young-ah
Where to watch: Cinemas
Shin Min-a plays twin sisters. Seo In, a ceramic artist who dies under suspicious circumstances, and Seo Jin, a photographer slowly losing her sight due to a hereditary condition, sets out to find out what really happened to her sister. Kim Nam-hee plays detective Do-hyuk, who investigates alongside Seo Jin and becomes her eyes as her vision deteriorates. If you’re into thrillers that keep you tense the entire time, queue this up.
7. Notes from the Last Row – June 26
Cast: Choi Min-sik, Choi Hyun-wook, Huh Joon-ho, Kim Yunjin, Jin Kyung
Where to watch: Netflix, all episodes release at 4 p.m. KST
Heo Mun-oh (Choi Min-sik), a grumpy literature professor and failed novelist, notices something different about Lee Kang (Choi Hyun-wook), a mysterious student always sitting in the last row of his class and becomes obsessed with his writing. With a cast this stacked and a premise this gripping, suspenseful, and mind-bending, this psychological thriller drama is one of the most anticipated drops of the month.
8. Agent Kim Reactivated – June 26
Cast: So Ji-sub, Choi Dae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Joo Sang-wook, Son Na-eun (Apink)
Where to watch: Netflix / SBS, Fridays and Saturdays at 9:50 p.m. KST
Manager Kim (So Ji-sub) looks like your average, everyday single dad working at a small savings bank. However, when his daughter’s life is on the line, he reactivates his old skills and becomes the most dangerous man around. This action revenge series is intense, fast-paced, and satisfying from the start.
