Lee Jun-ho Faces 1997 IMF Crisis in 'Typhoon Inc.' Poster: 'The Era Collapsed, Not Me'

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Typhoon Inc.' has heightened anticipation by releasing the 'Crisis of 1997' poster and teaser video, capturing the unwavering spirit of protagonist Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho) amidst the IMF crisis.

'Typhoon Inc.' depicts the arduous growth journey of Kang Tae-poong, who becomes the CEO of a trading company with no employees, money, or assets to sell, during the devastating IMF crisis of 1997. Through the passionate survival stories of ordinary people who didn't let life stop even amidst the chaos that felt like the end of the world, the drama aims to offer comfort and courage to those facing difficulties today.

The newly released 'Crisis of 1997' poster showcases Kang Tae-poong moving forward with typhoon-like courage against immense historical adversity. The cluttered office and newspaper headlines reporting the IMF crisis reveal the reality of the time, yet Kang Tae-poong's face radiates unwavering determination instead of wavering. The caption, "I'm Kang Tae-poong. The era collapsed, not me," powerfully symbolizes the 'Typhoon Spirit' of overcoming challenges rather than succumbing to despair.

The accompanying teaser video amplifies this spirit. Scattered newspapers on the floor and news pouring from the television vividly convey the atmosphere of economic chaos. However, Kang Tae-poong resolutely rises again, and his strong aura intensely imprints the heartwarming survival story even in a short clip.

The production team stated, "This poster and teaser video condense the indomitable spirit of youth during a collapsed era," adding, "We hope viewers will see the courage of the many ordinary people who lived through that time reflected in Kang Tae-poong's confident face." 'Typhoon Inc.' is set to premiere on Saturday, October 11th, at 9:20 PM.
