Lee Jun-ho & Kim Min-seok Form 'Abstreet Boys' for Upcoming Drama 'Typhoon Inc.'

Upcoming tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Typhoon Inc.' is set to showcase the explosive chemistry of Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-seok as they form the 'Abstreet Boys,' dominating the streets of Apgujeong in 1997.

'Typhoon Inc.' tells the story of Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho), a rookie trading company executive who becomes the head of a company with no employees, no money, and nothing to sell, navigating his struggles and growth during the 1997 IMF crisis. Before getting swept up in the IMF storm, Kang Tae-poong had friends with whom he burned his youthful freedom. If the Billboard charts had the Backstreet Boys, then 'Typhoon Inc.' has the 'Abstreet Boys' who ruled Apgujeong.

At the center is Kang Tae-poong, the 'face' of the group, whose impeccable style and sauve demeanor leave women in awe wherever he goes. His best friend, Wang Nam-mo (Kim Min-seok), is the 'talent' specialist, though he firmly believes he's in charge of looks himself, providing comedic relief. Despite appearing carefree and often fooling around, he's a true man who would risk everything for his friends and loved ones.

The three newly released stills capture the vibrant youthful energy of the 'Abstreet Boys' ruling Apgujeong. Kang Tae-poong strikes a pose with his heavy charisma next to Wang Nam-mo, who playfully responds to a street interview. Subsequent images show the duo sitting side-by-side in a greenhouse, exchanging glances, and playfully tugging at each other's hair during a drinking session, highlighting their brotherly bond. This conveys the vitality of youth and their close camaraderie, raising expectations for the laughter and empathy 'Typhoon Inc.' will deliver.

A production representative stated, "Kang Tae-poong and Wang Nam-mo are a duo who most vividly portray the freedom and friendship of youth in 1997." They added, "Their relationship, filled with humor and loyalty, will inject vitality into the drama and deliver both great laughter and deep empathy to viewers."

'Typhoon Inc.' promises to offer warm comfort and courage to those facing difficult times today, through the heartwarming survival stories of ordinary people who held their ground and continued living even when the world seemed to be ending due to the crisis that hit South Korea. The drama will premiere on Saturday, October 11th at 9:10 PM KST, following the currently airing 'The Tyrant's Chef.'

Lee Jun-ho, a member of the group 2PM, initially showcased his talents as an idol before transitioning to acting. He has since garnered significant recognition for his versatile performances in dramas like 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim,' 'Hospital Playlist,' and 'The Red Sleeve.' His ability to portray both charismatic stage presence and nuanced emotional depth has earned him critical acclaim and widespread popularity.
