Lee Junho Considering Leading Role in New Drama by "Fight For My Way" Director

Lee Junho, it seems, might be making quite the splash in a new drama! On September 23, STARNEWS unveiled the news that our beloved Junho has been cast in the lead role of the upcoming series titled “Typhoon Company.” Now, you might think that sounds a little stormy, and let me tell you, it certainly is—both on and off-screen!

In the grand tradition of confidentiality that Hollywood (or K-drama-land, rather) cherishes so deeply, JYP Entertainment chimed in with a charmingly vague response: “He is currently reviewing the offer to star in the drama positively.” Ah, the classic corporate shuffle. In other words, they’re keeping their options open while the rest of us are left to speculate and daydream.

This delightful drama promises to be a heartfelt exploration of a small family-run business grappling with the financial tempest of the 1997 IMF crisis. It’s a situation so fraught with tension, it almost feels like a banking thriller with added family dynamics—think of it as “The Godfather” meets “Horrible Bosses.” Junho is reportedly in line to portray Kang Tae Poong, the relentless CEO of Typhoon Company, who’s on a mission to uphold the family business that his late father held dear. Just imagine it—a man against the storm, all while trying not to lose his grip on everything his family worked for!

As the drama unfolds, we’ll follow Tae Poong through a labyrinth of adulting trials and tribulations, because apparently, nothing screams “I’m a grown-up now” quite like saving a family business from ruin. Directed by the ever-talented Lee Na Jeong—who brought us fan favorites like “Fight for My Way,” “Love Alarm,” and “See You in My 19th Life”—“Typhoon Company” is reportedly in the works to air on tvN next year. So, if you’re itching for a bit of comedy with your drama, this could be just the ticket!

But keep those eyes peeled! More news and juicy details are sure to come, and let’s be honest: we all want to see Lee Junho navigate the stormy seas of love, loss, and perhaps a smattering of hilarity along the way. Who knows? He might just prove that a typhoon is more than just a natural disaster—it can also be a hotbed of heartwarming stories!
