Miss Undercover Boss: Go Kyung Pyo in talks to play Park Shin Hye's boss in office comedy, know plot and character details
Miss Undercover Boss is an upcoming tvN K-drama about an elite securities supervisor who goes undercover to investigate suspicious activity at a securities firm during the IMF crisis of the late 1990s. In March 2025, Park Shin Hye was confirmed to play the lead role of the financial regulator and on May 23, Go Kyung Pyo was reported to be in talks to star as her boss in the drama, by K-media Sports Chosun.
An entertainment industry insider told the media outlet, " Go Kyung Pyo will be the main character of the drama Miss Undercover Boss." However, there hasn't been any confirmation from the actor or his agency as of yet. If the news is indeed true, we will be seeing him in another CEO role after the 2020 series Private Lives and Don't Dare to Dream (2016). In Miss Undercover Boss, Go Kyung Pyo is to star as Shin Jung Woo, the new CEO of Hanmin Securities. He is a corporate raider, he returns to Yeouido with dark ambitions.
Shin Jung Woo will develop an interest in rookie employee Sammo Hung (played by Park Shin Hye), potentially leading to the classic haters-to-lovers situation. Sammo Hung, in reality, is an undercover agent, a 35-year-old ace securities supervisor, who infiltrates the Yeouido firm by posing as a 20-year-old. Her unofficial mission is to investigate illicit activities of Hanmin Securities, when the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis is right around the corner.
Park Shin Hye will take on the dual challenge of portraying two distinct characters– a sharp, high-achieving financial regulator and an inexperienced office rookie. Despite its comedic label, Miss Undercover Boss tackles serious issues. The story will explore the dynamics between Shin Jung Woo, known for his cold demeanor and good looks, and quick-witted Sammo Hung, as their paths intersect in unexpected ways.
The 16-episode drama will be helmed by director Park Seon Ho and penned by writer Moon Hyun Kyung, with a targeted release in the first half of 2026.

Earlier, when JTBC Entertainment revealed that BLACKPINK would be making a full group comeback in July, their agency released a statement, sharing that they would announce the details of the project 'through an official promotion at a later date." They had also confirmed that the quartet had begun filming their upcoming music video on June 6, which took place in South Korea under the supervision of a renowned director, whose name was not revealed. Back in February this year, YG Entertainment surprised BLINKs by announcing the world tour of BLACKPINK, titled Deadline World Tour. This would mark their comeback as a group after their last record-breaking Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), which sold over 1.8 million tickets across 66 shows. Following this, the four girls focused on their solo music as well as acting projects. The tour, which is their first all-stadium one, will begin on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea, followed by a number of shows in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
