Actor Lee Jun-ho has confirmed his appearance in the new tvN drama ‘Typhoon Company’ and will captivate viewers until the second half of this year.

The drama ‘Typhoon Company’ (directed by Lee Na-jeong, written by Jang Hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imagineers, Studio PIC, and Tris Studio) starring Lee Jun-ho tells the story of ‘Kang Typhoon’, the young CEO who struggles to protect the small business ‘Typhoon Company’, left by his father, during the IMF bankruptcy crisis in 1997, and his family and employees. Director Lee Na-jeong, who achieved both artistic quality and box office success with ‘Fight for My Way’, ‘Love Alarm’, and ‘Mine’, is receiving attention for directing this film.

In ‘Typhoon Boss’, Lee Jun-ho plays the role of ‘Kang Typhoon’, a member of the Apgujeong Orange Tribe who was fortunate enough to have good parents at the time. When Typhoon Boss, which his father loved as much as his own family, collapses due to the IMF, he becomes the CEO in order to protect it. Based on his delicate acting skills and excellent character digestion, Lee Jun-ho plans to convey warm comfort and courage to viewers by colorfully depicting a character who goes through a reckless period, becomes frustrated with the people around him in a crisis, and grows up to become a real adult.

In particular, Lee Jun-ho has led consecutive box office hits with his acting skills regardless of genre, from ‘The Red End of the Sleeves’, which caused a historical drama craze by recording the highest viewership rating of 17.4% nationwide, to ‘King the Land’, which presented the essence of romantic comedy and topped the Netflix global charts. This time, in ‘Typhoon Boss’, he transforms into a character facing the IMF in 1997 and shows off his typhoon-like acting transformation, shining his presence as an ‘irreplaceable actor’.

Lee Jun-ho is also set to release another leading role in the Netflix series ‘Cashier’ this year. Expectations are high for Lee Jun-ho‘s 2025 journey, as he targets global viewers with diverse character transformations, from ‘Kang Typhoon’ in ‘Typhoon Boss’, who faced the IMF crisis in 1997, to ‘Kang Sang-woong’ in ‘Cashier’, who became a hero closely related to everyday life.

The new tvN drama ‘Typhoon Boss’, starring Lee Jun-ho, will air in the second half of this year.
