‘The Apartment Job’ Episode 4 Release Date and Time Confirmed for Ji Sung’s Thriller

Korean drama enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the next installment of ‘The Apartment Job’, and the countdown is nearly over. This JTBC thriller featuring Ji Sung has quickly become a must-watch for weekends, and episode 4 is set to elevate the tension even more.

With its unique mix of dark comedy, gangster elements, and apartment politics, ‘The Apartment Job’ has established a distinct presence in the competitive K-drama scene. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming episode’s release and what it has in store.

Episode 4 of ‘The Apartment Job’ is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, July 19th, at around 3pm GMT, which is approximately 11am ET. For viewers in Korea, this corresponds to the show’s airing time of 22:30 KST that evening. This episode will follow immediately after the third episode, which aired the previous night.

New episodes are following JTBC’s established weekend broadcast schedule and will be available on Netflix the same day they air in Korea. The platform has been quick with subtitles, so international viewers can expect translated episodes to drop shortly after the original release.

Each episode runs for about one hour and five minutes, aligning with the typical pacing of JTBC weekend dramas. This runtime allows the show to effectively manage its ensemble cast and intricate subplots without feeling rushed.

Viewers in Korea can watch ‘The Apartment Job’ live on JTBC, while international audiences can stream it on Netflix globally. Netflix confirmed that the series debuted on July 11, 2026, marking Ji Sung’s first significant role on the streaming service.

The series is designed to release new episodes every Saturday and Sunday, with each episode lasting around 70 minutes. The entire season is set to run from July 11 through August 16, 2026, consisting of 12 episodes.

After episode 4 airs, there will still be eight episodes remaining in the season, providing fans with plenty of narrative to look forward to. The twice-weekly release schedule has kept discussions about the show lively throughout the week instead of being limited to a single binge day.

In ‘The Apartment Job’, Ji Sung stars as Park Hae-gang, a former gangster turned CEO of the HK Group, a company that presents itself as a legitimate investment firm while secretly operating an illegal gambling network.

The official synopsis details his quest to become the president of the apartment residents’ association to access the building’s hidden reserve fund, inadvertently exposing corruption within the complex and gradually becoming a local hero.

Ha Yoon-kyung plays Kang Ha-ri, an aspiring lawyer working at a law firm after failing the bar exam, while Moon So-ri portrays Jang Suk-jin, a resident deeply involved in apartment matters. Park Byung-eun completes the main cast as Lee Chung-won, a representative of the True Value apartment construction company and a penthouse resident.

Supporting roles include Kim Won-hae as a client known as the Lizard and Jung Jin-young as Park Yong-man. The series is directed by Jo Yong-won, who previously won Best Director at the Seoul Drama Awards for ‘Missing Child’, with the script written by Kim Yoon-young.

The preview for the upcoming episodes reveals Park Hae-gang formally introducing himself to Jang Suk-jin as the competition for the True Value Building representative position heats up, with three candidates now in the race. Questions arise about whether Hae-gang has the ability to deliver results for the residents he is trying to win over.

To demonstrate his capabilities, Hae-gang initiates a dedicated delivery service for the apartment complex, promising identity verification for recipients and direct package delivery to individual doors. This move reflects a character who has built his reputation on reading people and finding angles, even if his true motives remain unclear to his neighbors.

However, not everyone is convinced, as Jang Suk-jin publicly challenges the practicality and sustainability of such a service. This tension follows the cliffhanger from episode 2, where Hae-gang discovers the apartment’s reserve fund and aims to steal it, but first must secure a position in the association.

Given how rapidly the scheme has escalated from a petty hustle to a full-blown political campaign, episode 4 is likely to test just how far Hae-gang is willing to go to win over skeptics like Jang Suk-jin. With three candidates vying for the same position, do you think Hae-gang’s delivery service strategy will be enough to sway the residents, or is Jang Suk-jin justified in being wary of his intentions?
