Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-ha Face the IMF Crisis Head-On in 'King of Business'

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'King of Business' has heightened anticipation by releasing a moving poster showcasing the unique chemistry between Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-ha.

'King of Business' depicts the arduous growth journey of Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho), who becomes the president of a trading company with no employees, money, or assets to sell, amidst the 1997 IMF financial crisis. Alongside him, ace accountant Oh Mi-sun (Kim Min-ha) strives to become a professional trader and forge a path to survival.

The released poster starkly contrasts the two youths. Kang Tae-poong, an impulsive doer who trusts his gut feelings and acts decisively, and Oh Mi-sun, a logical analyst who dissects situations with reason and logic. Kang Tae-poong's composure even in crisis, and Oh Mi-sun's sharp guidance, hint at the unpredictable synergy that will unfold between them.

Lee Jun-ho stated, "Kang Tae-poong and Oh Mi-sun have completely opposite personalities, but that's precisely why they can become great partners." He added, "I hope viewers can share a pleasant smile while watching these two grow together." He also expressed his hope that "various emotions such as excitement, trembling, support, and comfort will be conveyed to the audience."

Kim Min-ha remarked, "The synergy between the two is immense." She explained, "Their combined ideas revive the company, and their unwavering spirit helps them rise again." She further noted, "Their honest, fluctuating emotions actually make them stronger and serve as a great driving force," emphasizing that she acted with sincerity.

'King of Business' promises to deliver a profound resonance to viewers with its heartwarming survival story of ordinary people and the special synergy created by the meeting of an impulsive doer and a logical analyst. The drama premieres on Saturday, October 11th at 9:20 PM on tvN, following 'The Tyrant's Chef'.
