Kim Min-seok Captivates Audiences with Versatile Portrayal in 'Typhoon Inc.'

Actor Kim Min-seok is resonating with viewers through his diverse portrayal of youth navigating the IMF crisis and devoted love in the tvN drama 'Typhoon Inc.'

In the series, Kim plays Nam-mo, the best friend of rookie executive Kang Tae-pyung (Lee Jun-ho) and a devoted boyfriend solely focused on his girlfriend. He brings a bright energy as a aspiring singer who, despite his family's financial struggles due to the IMF crisis, perseveres without succumbing to despair.

Through his role, Kim Min-seok showcases the resilient spirit of youth during the IMF era. The character Nam-mo, facing hardship, transforms from a cheerful young man to a dependable 'head of household,' offering flowers to his tearful mother after her early retirement and working multiple jobs. Kim's nuanced performance masterfully conveys the emotional journey of Nam-mo, drawing empathy from the audience.

The sweet romance between Nam-mo and Mi-ho (Kwon Han-sol) has also become a hot topic. Scenes recreating the era's romance, from hand warmers and paper airplanes to photo booths, evoke nostalgic memories. Nam-mo’s unwavering affection for Mi-ho is evident when he states, "My dream is you." Despite his mother's objections, he holds Mi-ho's hand, captivating viewers with his tender yet resolute gaze.

Furthermore, Kim Min-seok enriches the drama with his multifaceted talents, including his self-written and self-composed OST, 'Wolf Star,' and impressive dance skills. 'Wolf Star' perfectly embodies Nam-mo's emotions. The much-discussed dance scene from 'Ab-street Boys' in the first episode left a strong impression, foreshadowing his all-around capabilities.

Meanwhile, Kim Min-seok has solidified his status as a 'trustworthy actor' by completing a trifecta of successful projects following TVING's 'Shark: The Storm' and the movie 'Noise' with 'Typhoon Inc.' With only two episodes remaining, 'Typhoon Inc.' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM on tvN.

Korean netizens have praised Kim Min-seok's performance, commenting, "Kim Min-seok's acting is so good," and "The OST he sang himself is amazing, it really brings back memories of the IMF era!" Others have added, "The romance is heartwarming, and his growth is inspiring."
