Kang Tae-poong, portrayed by Lee Junho, has successfully safeguarded Taepoong Corporation after a long and arduous journey.
In the episode aired on the 30th on tvN's 'Taepoong Corporation,' Kang Tae-poong is seen envisioning a hopeful future with the employees of Taepoong Corporation.
Previously, Kang Tae-poong had resigned from Taepoong Corporation, but he discovered a promissory note left by his father, Kang Jin-young (played by Sung Dong-il), which helped him avert a crisis. Additionally, after learning that the bankruptcy of Dabon Tech, the company owned by Baek Song-joong's (played by Lee Sang-jin) father, was due to Mark, Kang Tae-poong decided to release the patent for a cooling fan for free. During the auction bidding, Mark offered a mere 10,000 won, allowing Kang Tae-poong to win the bid.
Pyo Hyun-joon attempted to have his father, Pyo Sang-seon (played by Kim Sang-ho), admitted to a mental hospital, but Kang Tae-poong intervened, leading Pyo Hyun-joon to face the consequences of his actions. Kang Tae-poong asked, "Why didn't you repay my father?" to which Pyo Sang-seon confessed, "I was terrified of not being able to pay the salaries of my 350 employees." Kang Tae-poong requested him to testify that the promissory note was received on the due date.
Meanwhile, Kang Tae-poong exchanged gifts with Oh Mi-seon (played by Kim Min-ha). Oh Mi-seon gifted him flower seeds, and Kang Tae-poong gave her a college entrance exam workbook and a tuition voucher. Kang Tae-poong expressed his genuine wish, "Didn't you always want to go to college, Mi-seon? I hope you continue to pursue the studies you desire."
When Oh Mi-seon mentioned, "I still can't afford a flower shop. I'll earn more and definitely buy it for you," Kang Tae-poong replied, "I don't need a flower shop anymore. All my flowers are here. There's romance, and now all my dreams are here. Taepoong Corporation. Mi-seon, you're amazing. You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen," expressing his affection for both Taepoong Corporation and Oh Mi-seon.
Kang Tae-poong and the employees of Taepoong Corporation even appeared on the news, marking the end of the long IMF crisis. Kang Tae-poong declared, "When I turned around, I found my flowers here. I won't give up. For my flowers, for my people," as he and the employees of Taepoong Corporation energetically envisioned a bright future.
