Tension Rises as Park Shin-hye Faces Her Past in 'Undercover Miss Hong'

Park Shin-hye finds herself on the brink of exposure.

In the third episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Undercover Miss Hong' (directed by Park Sun-ho, Na Ji-hyun / written by Moon Hyun-kyung), airing on the 24th at 9:10 PM, Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye) faces a nerve-wracking situation as she comes face-to-face with her former lover, Shin Jung-woo, at Hanmin Securities, where she is undercover.

The released stills capture Hong Geum-bo in a tense meeting with the executives of Hanmin Securities. Known for making a strong impression during her job interview by pointing out errors in the entrance exam, Hong Geum-bo once again draws attention with her actions, causing disruptions in the undercover operation that was supposed to proceed quietly. The curiosity builds around what major incident led to the gathering of the executives.

Particularly, the encounter between Hong Geum-bo and the new president, Shin Jung-woo (played by Go Kyung-pyo), is filled with palpable tension. Hong Geum-bo is anxious about her true identity being discovered by her ex-lover after nine years, while Shin Jung-woo is confused by the appearance of someone who resembles Hong Geum-bo but goes by the name 'Hong Jang-mi.' The focus is on whether Hong Geum-bo, who barely managed to pass as a twenty-year-old through a dramatic makeover, can navigate this significant crisis smoothly.

Meanwhile, a remark made by Hong Geum-bo, under the sharp scrutiny of the executives, inadvertently escalates the situation. The intrigue grows as to why Hong Geum-bo was summoned and what clever move she will make in this precarious situation where the undercover operation could be completely scrapped.

On another note, 'Undercover Miss Hong' has achieved impressive success, ranking 8th globally in Netflix's 'TV SHOWS' category, entering the TOP 10 in 41 countries, and securing 5th place in the TV-OTT drama category for the third week of January. The show has been well-received both domestically and globally, starting strong from its first week of broadcast.

Offering thrilling entertainment and a blend of comfort and humor, tvN's weekend drama 'Undercover Miss Hong' airs its third episode on the 24th at 9:10 PM.
