The highly anticipated drama “Undercover Miss Hong” is set to premiere on January 17, 2026, at 21:10 KST on tvN, featuring acclaimed actress Park Shin Hye in a leading role. The show takes viewers back to the late 1990s, where Park portrays Hong Geum Bo, an elite financial supervisory officer who assumes a new identity as a rookie employee to uncover suspicious activities at a securities firm.
The newly released teaser introduces the character of Hong Geum Bo as she transforms into Hong Jang Mi, a 20-year-old entry-level employee at Hanmin Securities. This character’s vibrant presence is highlighted by her playful bob haircut and youthful style, which contrasts sharply with her true age of 35. The teaser sets the stage for a comedic narrative as Hong Jang Mi navigates the challenges of undercover work in Yeouido, a prominent financial district in South Korea.
As the teaser unfolds, viewers witness the reactions of Hong Jang Mi’s roommates, including Go Bok Hee (played by Ha Yun Kyung), Kang Nora (played by Choi Ji Soo), and Kim Mi Sook (played by Kang Chae Young). Their puzzled expressions suggest that Hong Geum Bo’s cover may not remain intact for long.
One of the central plot points involves Hong Geum Bo’s mission to access Hanmin Securities’ secret slush fund ledger. Throughout her undercover journey, she encounters multiple hurdles that threaten to expose her real identity. Complicating matters is the unexpected arrival of her ex-lover, Shin Jung Woo, portrayed by Ko Kyung Pyo, who has recently taken on the role of CEO at Hanmin Securities.
The blend of comedy and tension is evident in the teaser, which showcases Hong Geum Bo’s determination and spirited approach as she attempts to complete her mission while juggling the complexities of her undercover persona.
“Undercover Miss Hong” promises to deliver a unique mix of humor and suspense, engaging viewers with its dynamic storyline and relatable characters. As anticipation builds for its premiere, fans can catch a glimpse of Park Shin Hye’s performance in her previous work, “My Annoying Brother.”
For those eager to dive into this intriguing narrative, the countdown to its release has officially begun, marking another exciting chapter in the realm of Korean dramas.
