Portraying Kang Tae-pung, an everyday employee thrust into the top job overnight, JUNHO anchors the series with unshakable poise. Created by writer Jang Hyun and directed by Lee Na-jung and Kim Dong-hwi, "Typhoon Family" lets him flex range―from a green office rookie to a leader who chooses people over profit―grounding the ride with warmth and conviction.
The show doubles as a coming-of-age for its hero, and JUNHO fills in the shades: decisive when it counts, compassionate when it matters. His relationships deepen the arc, too. With his Typhoon team, he builds “one-team” chemistry that’s easy to root for; with Oh Mi-sun (Kim Min-ha), he crafts a feel-good romance fueled by mutual support and shared dreams―equal parts charming and sincere.
"Typhoon Family" wrapped on Nov. 30 with its 16th episode, and JUNHO drove the finale’s emotional payoff. Helping bring down longtime antagonist Pyo Hyun-jun (played by Moo Jin-sung) offered catharsis, while his reflective closing narration―weighted with the highs and lows of life―left a resonant note that connected across age groups.
Episode after episode, JUNHO kept the buzz going with assured, shapeshifting work. Beyond the boardroom drama, he also wove in his onstage chops―song and dance included―reminding viewers why he’s a true multi-hyphenate. All eyes are on what he does next.
Up next, JUNHO will meet global fans at the 'Typhoon Family Drama Fan Meeting with LEE JUNHO,' kicking off Dec. 14 in Tokyo.
