'Secret Audit' is a thrilling romance centered around charismatic audit manager Joo In-ah (played by Shin Hye-sun) and ace auditor No Gi-jun (played by Gong Myung), who is demoted to handle internal misconduct (PM) cases. The drama unfolds with the reversal romance between Joo In-ah and No Gi-jun, who fall deeply in love while conducting thorough audits, and the humorous yet intriguing struggles of the problematic audit team investigating internal misconduct.

Directed by Lee Soo-hyun of 'That Guy is a Black Dragon' and written by Yeon Eun-ho of 'One Hit Scandal,' with creator Yang Hee-seung, the drama promises high quality. The ensemble cast, including Shin Hye-sun, Gong Myung, Kim Jae-wook, and Hong Hwa-yeon, adds excitement for drama fans.

The released photos capture the elegant yet chic appearance of Park Ah-jung, drawing attention. From head to toe, she embodies a career woman, exuding confidence with her poised gaze and stride. Her professional demeanor as she adeptly assists Jeon Jae-yeol (played by Kim Jae-wook) from a step behind is intriguing. As the secretary to Haemu Group's executive vice president Jeon Jae-yeol, Park Ah-jung is the official goddess of the company but is known for not easily opening her heart to anyone. Her unreadable 'poker face' adds to the mystery surrounding her story.

Hong Hwa-yeon shared, "The setting of the audit team handling 'PM (misconduct)' cases was refreshing. The added liveliness and vibrancy to the drama through this process was intriguing."

This statement heightens expectations for her character.

Regarding her character 'Park Ah-jung,' she said, "She has various facets. She is chic yet lovable and sometimes lonely. Park Ah-jung shows different attitudes depending on the surrounding circumstances, and I put a lot of thought into portraying her diverse sides well."

'Secret Audit' premieres on April 25th at 9:10 PM.
