'The Secret Audit' has confirmed the casting of Shin Hye-sun, Gong Myoung, Kim Jae-wook, and Hong Hwa-yeon and has begun filming.
The new drama 'The Secret Audit,' which is scheduled to air on tvN in 2026 (directed by Lee Soo-hyun, written by Yeo Eun-ho, created by Yang Hee-seung, produced by Studio Dragon), is a romantic comedy featuring Joo In-ah (played by Shin Hye-sun), the charismatic chief auditor who keeps a secret, and Noh Gi-joon (played by Gong Myoung), the ace of the audit department who is suddenly demoted to the scandal department.
The collaboration of the production team, known for their remarkable contributions in the romantic comedy genre, excites drama fans. Director Lee Soo-hyun, who showcased his artistic direction through works like 'My Dearest Nemesis' and 'The Great Quiz,' will helm the project, while the skilled writer Yeo Eun-ho, who has worked with Yang Hee-seung on 'The Great Quiz,' will pen the script. Additionally, Yang Hee-seung, who has created numerous beloved romantic comedies such as 'The Great Quiz' and 'Knowing Wife,' participates as a creator, heightening anticipation.
Above all, the synergy of Shin Hye-sun, Gong Myoung, Kim Jae-wook, and Hong Hwa-yeon, who will complete the secret and sweet office scandal, draws attention. Shin Hye-sun transforms into Joo In-ah, the sweet yet fierce chief auditor harboring a secret. As seen from the nicknames 'Joo In-out' for being out if caught and 'Joo Ji-cham' for being trampled if rebellious, she is a character who allows no disruption in her work. Having earned the title of 'youngest female executive,' she faces a chaotic office life when she becomes entangled with Noh Gi-joon, whom she appoints as the in-house scandal officer. Shin Hye-sun, who has garnered public affection through diverse acting transformations, expressed, 'I'm really looking forward to it. I will prepare diligently to present myself in a good light.'
Noh Gi-joon, who became an in-house scandal sharpshooter through 'Joo In-ah's pick,' is portrayed by Gong Myoung. The 'alpha male' Noh Gi-joon, equipped with a smart brain and blessed with physical and visual attributes, experiences a sudden halt in his smooth life due to the emergence of Joo In-ah and is demoted from the elite audit team 1 to the problematic audit team 3. Anticipating a transformation in his acting, Gong Myoung stated, 'It is a great honor to be part of 'The Secret Audit.' I will greet viewers in another form, so please look forward to it and show your interest.'
The third-generation chaebol 'Jeon Jae-yeol,' who hides emptiness within a seemingly elegant package, is played by Kim Jae-wook. Jeon Jae-yeol chooses reality over love to win the precarious succession competition. Kim Jae-wook adds persuasive charm to the complex character and expressed his determination, saying, 'I hope this will be a work that viewers find interesting every episode. I will prepare hard.'
Actress Hong Hwa-yeon, who gained attention for her solid performance in 'Buried Hearts,' transforms into Park Ah-jung, Jeon Jae-yeol's exceptional secretary and the visual center of Hae-mu Group. Realizing that her outstanding appearance only makes life more challenging, she has always kept her guard up but now begins a painful first love. Hong Hwa-yeon revealed her enthusiastic ambition, stating, 'I am making efforts to portray the diverse aspects of the character 'Park Ah-jung' in a fun way. I want to greet you with an even more developed version of myself.'
