'Undercover Miss Hong' star Park Shin-hye launches a daring undercover employment operation in earnest.
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Undercover Miss Hong,' directed by Park Sun-ho / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon, set to premiere on Sat., Jan. 17, 2026, is a retro office comedy drama about Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye), a 30-something elite securities inspector in the late 1990s who disguises herself as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious money flows have been detected, leading to chaotic adventures.
'Undercover Miss Hong' marks Park Shin-hye's return to tvN after eight years and features powerhouse actors including Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung and Jo Han-gyeol. Director Park Sun-ho, who directed Greasy Melo, Business Proposal and Suspicious Partner, has joined the project, preparing to make a defining mark on the fin-de-siècle office comedy genre.
Today (the 15th), the 'Undercover poster' revealing Park Shin-hye's secret double life was released, drawing attention. In the poster, the calm, suited Hong Geum-bo, opening a newspaper with a confident expression, also holds a somewhat awkward but lovable 'Hong Rose,' creating a striking contrast. It raises curiosity about what the protagonist's struggle will look like as she boldly downgrades her status from elite securities inspector to an entry-level employee at Hanmin Securities.
Also, as befits a drama that will depict the tumultuous currents of Yeouido's securities market in the 1990s, its retro mood is eye-catching. Monitors displaying various financial indicators faithfully recreate the atmosphere of that era, evoking familiar nostalgia. Transformative actress Park Shin-hye meeting fin-de-siècle sensibilities is expected to generate unique synergy, and even a single poster builds anticipation.
In addition, actors Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung and Jo Han-gyeol, who have transformed into 'coldly handsome' roles, will build special chemistry with Park Shin-hye and create an exciting story. The story surrounding the protagonist, who transforms into 'Miss' at age 20 and carries out an undercover mission, becomes even more intriguing.
