Actor Ko Kyung-pyo is ready to meet viewers with a distinctly different character in tvN's new weekend drama ‘Undercover Miss Hong’. Expectations are high for Ko Kyung-pyo's acting transformation as he becomes a corporate hunter with thorough self-management and cold judgment.
On the 30th, the production team of ‘Undercover Miss Hong’ heightened curiosity about the first broadcast by releasing character stills and an interview with Ko Kyung-pyo, who plays the role of Shin Jung-woo. The drama ‘Undercover Miss Hong’ is a retro office comedy set in the late 1990s, where elite securities supervisor Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye) disguises herself as a 20-year-old junior employee to uncover suspicious financial flows.
Ko Kyung-pyo's character, Shin Jung-woo, is a management consultant who believes that only numbers are honest and is known as the unofficial 'cold handsome' of Yeouido. He is a corporate hunter who hides his dark ambitions, willing to use any means to achieve his goals, but unexpectedly encounters Hong Geum-bo, the woman he loved 15 years ago, causing unforeseen cracks in his smooth plans.
Ko Kyung-pyo explained that the character Shin Jung-woo is cold and somewhat cynical, and he wants to show a clear contrast with Hong Geum-bo, possessing different values and distinct personal goals. He expressed that he has put a lot of thought into portraying a character that is quite different from himself and hopes that viewers will enjoy watching his acting transformation.
Additionally, Ko Kyung-pyo expressed confidence that the work, prepared with sincerity by the entire cast and crew, will provide viewers with both warm empathy and delightful fun. He urged viewers to pay attention to the diverse chemistry of the various characters interacting with Hong Geum-bo, raising expectations for the drama.
The new weekend drama ‘Undercover Miss Hong’, where viewers can discover Ko Kyung-pyo's new charm, is set to premiere on January 17, 2026, at 9:10 PM.
