Actor and singer Lee Jun-ho is fully launching his typhoon-level box office run with the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Typhoon Inc.'

Taking on the role of Kang Tae-poong, a novice trading company employee who suddenly becomes president overnight, Lee Jun-ho is commanding the weekend primetime slot. In the recent episode, Tae-poong showcased his business acumen by halting a contract with the bankrupt Daebang Textiles, marking his first steps as an action-oriented trading executive.

He demonstrated his dedication by braving the harsh winter to protect the company's fabric and fostered a warm 'one-team' chemistry with his employees, adding a heartwarming touch to the narrative. However, Tae-poong soon faced new challenges as the company's crisis led employees to leave. With only Mi-sun (played by Kim Min-ha) remaining by his side, the duo strives to find a breakthrough and navigates their difficult path against Pyosang Line once again, rekindling hope.

Later, en route to meet Cha-ran (played by Kim Hye-eun) in Busan, Tae-poong swiftly closed a deal for safety shoes, signaling the start of a new endeavor. With his home foreclosed, the question of how his growth narrative will unfold has viewers intrigued.

Lee Jun-ho masterfully portrays the dramatic shifts in the plot, capturing both emotion and entertainment. He has perfectly embodied Kang Tae-poong, who, despite his inexperience, strives tirelessly to protect the company. His evolving performance with each episode is earning him widespread support from viewers.

Showcasing detailed acting that captures the joys and sorrows of youth from that era, Lee Jun-ho is redefining the 'growth character.' His diverse performances anchor the drama, proving his reputation as a 'box office guarantee.' Expectations are high for his continued captivating portrayal.

'Typhoon Inc.', starring Lee Jun-ho, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM KST.

Korean netizens are praising Lee Jun-ho's performance, with comments like, 'He's truly becoming Kang Tae-poong,' 'Lee Jun-ho's acting is so good, I'm so immersed! I can't wait for next week,' and 'Please give us a satisfying plot progression!'
