Park Shin-hye transforms into "Undercover Miss Hong," who will change everything.
The new tvN weekend drama Undercover Miss Hong, scheduled to premiere on Jan. 17, 2026 (Sat) (directed by Park Sun-ho / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon), is a retro office comedy drama set at the end of the 1990s about Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye), a 30-something elite securities supervisor who goes undercover as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious funds have been detected, leading to chaotic and comedic situations.
Undercover Miss Hong is drawing expectations as a meeting between the undisputed box-office queen Park Shin-hye and tvN, with notable actors such as Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung and Jo Han-gyeol joining in large numbers to add synergy. Director Park Sun-ho, who directed Greasy Melo, Business Proposal and Suspicious Partner, has teamed up to capture viewers with a turn-of-the-century office comedy drama.
The "change teaser" released today (the 17th) shows the protagonist Hong Geum-bo, who will change everything from name and age to social status. For some reason, Hong Geum-bo gives up being the ace supervisor at the Capital Market Supervisory Bureau and undertakes an undercover infiltration as a 20-year-old junior employee at a securities firm. Expectations are growing about the reason for her dramatic transformation from the charismatic, professional Hong Geum-bo to the bright and lovable employee Hong Jang-mi and about her ensuing exploits.
Differing from typical turn-of-the-century female portrayals, Hong Geum-bo will not tolerate injustice and will directly change the game, providing a sense of catharsis. In front of employees who doubt her abilities, she lashes out, "Work is done with ability," and she delivers blunt rebukes to those who fabricate trouble. Curiosity builds over how her undercover operation, which will change everything from identity to structural injustice, will unfold.
Set against Yeouido in the 1990s, where upheaval and romance coexisted, the special undercover operation that will shake things up is previewed in the new tvN weekend drama Undercover Miss Hong, which premieres on Jan. 17, 2026 (Sat) at 9:10 p.m.
