Actor and singer Lee Junho has dominated buzz with Typhoon Family.
Lee Junho is attracting viewers' attention with his passionate performance as Kang Tae-poong, a rookie trading company manager who becomes the president of a trading company with no employees, no money and nothing to sell, in the tvN weekend drama Typhoon Family (directed by Na Jeong Lee and Dong-hwi Kim, written by Hyun Jang, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus, Studio PIC and Tris Studio).
In the drama, Lee Junho has transformed perfectly into Kang Tae-poong, who fights desperately to protect the company his father built over 26 years, drawing lively reactions each episode. He leads the coming-of-age arc by overcoming continuous adversity with firm decisiveness and overflowing ambition, and he also adds depth to the drama with a rich emotional range, showcasing delicate acting skills.
Proving this, Lee Junho accelerated his box office momentum by dominating buzz with Typhoon Family. According to buzz research firm Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, Lee Junho ranked first in the performers' buzz category for the fourth week of October, and Typhoon Family also ranked first in the TV-OTT drama buzz category, confirming its trendsetting presence.
The intense interest in Lee Junho is also reflected in ratings. Lee Junho marked a strong start by achieving the highest premiere ratings among tvN weekend dramas in 2025, and in the third week of broadcast he rose to the top by recording the highest same-time-slot ratings across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters.
Moreover, Lee Junho's popularity typhoon is sweeping beyond Korea to the global stage. It not only ranked No. 1 on Netflix Korea immediately after release, but by the second week of broadcast it had also secured a top position in Netflix's global top 10 TV (non-English) category, continuing its box office run with unabated momentum. In response, to repay fans' support, Lee Junho plans to visit four cities—Tokyo, Taipei, Macau and Bangkok—for Typhoon Family drama fan meetings starting in December.
Lee Junho, who has recorded consecutive hits with The Red Sleeve and King the Land and now Typhoon Family, is showing an unstoppable trajectory. Having left a presence on home screens with standout performances in each work, attention is focused on what further achievements he will deliver riding this continuing upward trend.
Meanwhile, tvN's Typhoon Family, in which Lee Junho appears, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
