‘Typhoon Inc.’ Lee Jun-ho & Kim Min-ha Hint at Deeper Romance and Growth in 2nd Act

Following the highly anticipated kiss scene teased in last week's preview, tvN's 'Typhoon Inc.' is set to embark on its compelling second act with its 9th episode airing today, the 8th.

The drama, set against the backdrop of the IMF crisis, has been resonating with viewers by delivering powerful messages of solidarity and recovery through the growth stories of young CEO Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho) and corporate warrior Oh Mi-seon (Kim Min-ha), themes still relevant to today's generation.

As the series passes its halfway point, expectations are soaring for the unfolding narrative. Lead actors Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-ha have shared their insights into what viewers can look forward to in the second half.

Lee Jun-ho expressed his anticipation, stating, “Please look forward to seeing how Kang Tae-poong, initially an inexperienced rookie CEO, will mature further and what choices he'll make as a true leader, ultimately leading to the series' conclusion.” He added, “I believe the increasingly stronger and more cohesive Typhoon Inc. team overcoming crises together will bring even more enjoyment. Tae-poong is at a turning point, transforming into a real CEO, so please watch until the end. We will deliver a richer and more profound story.” He also didn't forget to mention the romance: “In the process, the deepening romance between Tae-poong and Mi-seon will also begin to unfold in earnest.”

Kim Min-ha shared her excitement, saying, “They will strive and fight through the continuous crises with their unique methods. Amidst this, the blossoming love, strengthening relationships, and ultimately, rooted hope will be dazzlingly revealed.” While she has served as a crucial balance to Tae-poong's impulsive drive with her realistic judgment and fortitude, she has also faced conflicts with sales manager Go Ma-jin (Lee Chang-hoon) and encountered unexpected hurdles. Nonetheless, Mi-seon's determination to find solutions and her continued efforts are highly anticipated.

'Typhoon Inc.' episode 9 airs today, Saturday, the 8th, at 9:10 PM on tvN.
