‘Typhoon Inc.’ Lee Jun-ho & Kim Min-ha Get Intimate, Teetering on a Kiss

In the latest episode of tvN's weekend drama ‘Typhoon Inc.’ (written by Jang Hyun, directed by Lee Na-jung & Kim Dong-hwi), the romantic tension between Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho) and Oh Mi-sun (Kim Min-ha) reached a fever pitch.

Episode 9 depicted the duo's frantic efforts to rescue Go Ma-jin (Lee Chang-hoon), who was taken into custody on bribery charges. While taking a brief respite on a street in Thailand, Kang Tae-poong and Oh Mi-sun opened up about their true feelings, growing closer than ever.

Oh Mi-sun confessed her loneliness from being apart from her family. Kang Tae-poong offered sincere comfort and confessed, “You are cool and beautiful, Oh Mi-sun. It must be nice that I like you.”

The two were drawn to each other, leaning in for a kiss, but Oh Mi-sun pushed him away, saying, “This is not the time. We can’t be having this personal conversation when the department head is in such a predicament.” The scene abruptly stopped, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

‘Typhoon Inc.’, set against the backdrop of the 1997 IMF financial crisis, follows the challenging growth journey of Kang Tae-poong, a rookie businessman who finds himself the president of a trading company with no staff, money, or assets. The drama airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM.

Netizens reacted with excitement, commenting things like, 'The chemistry between them is insane!', 'My heart stopped, I thought the kiss scene was coming!', and 'The realistic situation makes it even more immersive.'
