Drama Shim Eun-ha Lee Byung-hun Lee Jung-jae Jin Hee-kyung White Nights 3.98 () is a 1998 South Korean television series based on the novel of the same title by Han Tae-hoon and directed by Kim Jong-hak. It aired on SBS from August 31, 1998 to November 3, 1998.

The series was criticized for director Kim Jong-hak's reliance on self-replication reminiscent of his earlier work Sandglass (1995), the actors' awkward Russian dialogue, computer graphics, and writing, resulting in low viewership ratings.
