Park Shin-hye and Ko Kyung-pyo completed the narrative with just their gazes.
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama Undercover Miss Hong, scheduled to premiere on Sat., Jan. 17, 2026 (directed by Park Seon-ho / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon), is a retro office comedy about the end of the 1990s in which 30-something elite securities inspector Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye) goes undercover as a 20-year-old junior employee at a securities firm where suspicious funds have been detected, leading to a series of chaotic and comical incidents.
Undercover Miss Hong is drawing attention as a meeting between the undisputed box-office queen Park Shin-hye and tvN, and an impressive cast including Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung and Jo Han-gyeol join to add synergy. Director Park Seon-ho, who directed Tasteful Melodies, Business Proposal and Suspicious Partner, has teamed up to captivate viewers with a turn-of-the-century office comedy.
Today (the 22nd), stills of the protagonists Hong Geum-bo and Shin Jeong-woo (played by Ko Kyung-pyo) were released, drawing the attention of prospective viewers. The two were once lovers, but after one incident they went their separate ways. Later, Hong Geum-bo infiltrates Hanmin Securities as a 20-year-old new employee, and unexpectedly reunites with Shin Jeong-woo, who has been appointed the new CEO.
First, stills from the past were released showing long-haired Hong Geum-bo and a youthful-looking Shin Jeong-woo. Hong Geum-bo, who looks as if she might burst into tears at any moment, and Jeong-woo, who faces her with an urgent yet flustered expression, arouse curiosity about the story behind their relationship.
On the other hand, stills capturing the present-day stunned reunion of Geum-bo and Jeong-woo also draw attention. Geum-bo looks at Jeong-woo with a surprised expression, and Jeong-woo looks at her with eyes that seem to hide complicated feelings. Because Geum-bo is working undercover as a 20-year-old employee named "Hong Jang-mi," there is growing curiosity about how she will overcome this predicament. Interest is focused on the tangled stories of the two and how their relationship will change after their reunion.
Expectations are growing for the synergy created by Park Shin-hye, a dependable actress who can pull off any character, and Ko Kyung-pyo, an actor who vividly expresses differences in a character's emotional temperature. The meeting of these two, who will form a fantastic combination from acting to chemistry, can be seen in the unprecedented retro office comedy Undercover Miss Hong.
Undercover Miss Hong will premiere on Sat., Jan. 17, 2026, at 9:10 p.m.
