Lee Junho has confirmed his participation in the new tvN drama 'Taepung Sangsa' (written by Jang Hyun, directed by Lee Na-jung).
In 'Taepung Sangsa,' Lee Junho plays the lead role of 'Kang Tae-poong,' a young CEO struggling to protect the small business 'Taepung Sangsa,' which was left behind by his father during the 1997 IMF financial crisis. The drama tells the story of Kang Tae-poong and his family, as well as the employees who work with him. Directed by Lee Na-jung, known for her successful works like 'Fight for My Way,' 'Love Alarm,' and 'Mine,' the drama is already attracting attention for its artistic quality and commercial success.
In 'Taepung Sangsa,' Lee Junho portrays the character of Kang Tae-poong, who comes from a privileged background but faces the collapse of the family business he cherishes as much as his family due to the IMF crisis. He takes on the role of the representative of the company to protect it. With his delicate acting skills and exceptional ability to embody characters, Lee Junho will vividly depict the growth of a character who transitions from a carefree youth to a responsible adult, providing viewers with warmth and encouragement.
Following his success in the historical drama 'The Red Sleeve Cuff,' which recorded a nationwide peak rating of 17.4%, and the romantic comedy 'King the Land,' Lee Junho has garnered significant love from viewers for his recent works. There is growing interest in how he will transform into a character facing the 1997 IMF crisis in 'Taepung Sangsa.'
In the latter half of this year, Lee Junho is set to release 'Taepung Sangsa' along with another lead role in the Netflix series 'Cashero.' 'Cashero' is a story about an ordinary civil servant, Kang Sang-woong, who gains superpowers that grow stronger with the cash he holds, as he uses his salary to save the world in this relatable, underdog superhero tale. Lee Junho will play the lead role of Kang Sang-woong in this series.
With his diverse character transformations from 'Kang Tae-poong' in 'Taepung Sangsa' to 'Kang Sang-woong' in 'Cashero,' expectations are high for Lee Junho's journey to captivate global audiences in 2025.
