Jung Kyung-ho Faces His Own Team in Court as ‘Pro Bono’ Reaches a Breaking Point

The confrontation between Jung Kyung-ho and the Pro Bono team finally erupts in court. Once bound by trust akin to that of a mentor and disciples, the leader and his team now stand on opposing sides, clashing over sharply divided versions of the truth and driving the drama’s tension to its peak.

In Episode 10 of tvN’s weekend drama Pro Bono, airing today (January 4), Kang Da-wit (played by Jung Kyung-ho) faces off against Park Gi-ppeum (So Ju-yeon), Jang Young-sil (Yoon Na-moo), Yoo Nan-hee (Seo Hye-won), and Hwang Jun-woo (Kang Hyung-seok), as both sides engage in a fierce legal battle from opposite ends of the courtroom.

The rift within the team begins with the appearance of habitual fraudster Yoo Jae-beom (Yeon Je-wook). His claim that Kang Da-wit once subjected him to a manipulated trial divides opinions among the team members, cracking the trust that once held them together.

Stripped of his judicial robe due to Yoo Jae-beom’s case, Kang Da-wit reveals his complicated emotions as his team appears reluctant to stand firmly by his side. Meanwhile, the team grows increasingly frustrated by what seems to be Kang’s deliberate concealment of the truth. This unresolved conflict ultimately explodes into a direct courtroom confrontation.

Stills released ahead of the episode capture the intense standoff. Seated at the defendant’s bench, Kang Da-wit turns his back on the team with an air of composure, while the team members fix him with cold, unwavering gazes from the opposing side. The moment underscores a stark transformation: those who once shared a mentor-student bond now face each other as legal enemies.

The episode further heightens intrigue with unexpected developments that threaten to upend the trial’s balance. The Pro Bono team suddenly introduces a third party, projecting newfound confidence, while the surprise appearance of Oh Jung-in (Lee Yoo-young), CEO of O&Partners, leaves even the team members visibly shaken. Attention now turns to who will seize control of the courtroom.

Episode 10 of tvN’s weekend drama Pro Bono, depicting the uncompromising head-on clash between Jung Kyung-ho and the Pro Bono team, airs tonight at 9:10 p.m.
