‘Doctor X’ Drops 2nd Teaser: “Are You Doctor X?”
“Are you Doctor X?”
SBS has released the second teaser for its upcoming medical noir Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia, giving viewers another intense glimpse at Gye Soo Jung, the brilliant surgeon played by Kim Ji Won.
While the first teaser focused on Soo Jung’s extraordinary surgical abilities, the new footage raises a different question: who exactly is the doctor everyone is calling Doctor X?
“I Swear, By My Honor…”
The new teaser opens with Gye Soo Jung reciting the Hippocratic Oath, promising to uphold her responsibilities as a doctor.
But the solemn moment quickly gives way to the kind of intense surgery that has already earned Soo Jung a reputation for being completely obsessed with the operating room.
She doesn't appear intimidated by difficult situations.
Instead, she approaches them with remarkable confidence, even casually declaring:
“Let’s take out the bullet.”
Her unconventional methods and fearless attitude once again hint at why she has earned the nickname the “crazy one” in the operating room.
A Doctor Who Refuses to Back Down
Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia follows Gye Soo Jung, a genius surgeon who refuses to accept failure or compromise.
The medical noir centers on her confrontation with the corruption and power structures inside a hospital, where her extraordinary surgical skills make her both an invaluable doctor and a dangerous opponent.
The first teaser already introduced her as a doctor who confidently declares that she does not fail, while the second teaser appears to push further into the mystery surrounding her.
Her abilities may be undeniable, but the new question surrounding her identity suggests that there is considerably more to Gye Soo Jung than her reputation in the operating room.
“Are You Doctor X?”
The biggest mystery arrives toward the end of the teaser.
After watching Soo Jung's unusual behavior and extraordinary medical abilities, the question is raised:
“Is Gye Soo Jung Doctor X?”
The teaser doesn't provide an answer.
Instead, it leaves viewers with another mystery surrounding the woman at the center of the drama.
Is “Doctor X” simply a nickname for Soo Jung's unmatched surgical abilities — or is there something else behind the name?
That question could become one of the central mysteries of the series.

The second teaser offers another look at Kim Ji Won's transformation into the fearless Gye Soo Jung, combining her unconventional approach to medicine with the growing mystery surrounding her identity.
When Does ‘Doctor X’ Premiere?
Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia will premiere on October 9, 2026, at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS.
The series stars Kim Ji Won as Gye Soo Jung, alongside Lee Jung Eun, Son Hyun Joo, and Kim Woo Seok. It is directed by Lee Jung Rim and written by Pyun Sung Geun.
The upcoming series is described as a medical noir centered on a genius surgeon who uses her extraordinary abilities to challenge the corruption surrounding the medical system.
With the first teaser introducing a doctor who claims she never fails and the second asking whether she is actually Doctor X, the mystery surrounding Gye Soo Jung is becoming just as intriguing as her surgical skills.
