The highly anticipated drama “Undercover Miss Hong,” featuring Park Shin Hye, is set to premiere on January 17, 2026. This engaging series, produced by tvN, transports viewers to the late 1990s, where the plot unfolds around Hong Geum Bo, portrayed by Park Shin Hye, an elite financial supervisory officer. In a daring move, she goes undercover as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm plagued by suspicious financial activities.
In the newly released teaser, audiences are introduced to a mysterious recruit in the bustling financial district of Yeouido in 1997. Hong Geum Bo, under the alias Hong Jang Mi, presents herself as a cheerful young woman eager to make her mark. Her bob haircut and lively demeanor provide an intriguing contrast to the puzzled expressions of her new roommates—Go Bok Hee, played by Ha Yun Kyung, Kang Nora, portrayed by Choi Ji Soo, and Kim Mi Sook, played by Kang Chae Young. These expressions hint at the unusual circumstances surrounding her character.
As the teaser progresses, it showcases Hong Geum Bo’s relentless determination and bold energy. The stakes rise as she attempts to uncover the secret slush fund ledger at Hanmin Securities. However, her mission is fraught with challenges, including moments when her true identity is at risk of being revealed. The plot thickens with the unexpected arrival of her ex-lover, Shin Jung Woo, played by Ko Kyung Pyo, who has taken on the role of the new CEO of Hanmin Securities.
“Undercover Miss Hong” promises to deliver a blend of comedy and suspense as it explores the complexities of maintaining a cover in a high-stakes environment. This unique storyline, coupled with strong performances, is likely to captivate audiences both in South Korea and internationally.
As excitement builds for the series, fans can catch a glimpse of Park Shin Hye’s talent in her previous film, “My Annoying Brother.” More details about the show and its upcoming episodes will be shared as the premiere date approaches.
