tvN's new Saturday drama 『Taepung Corporation" (played by Jang Hyun, directed by Lee Na-jung and Kim Dong-hwi) depicts the struggling growth of Kang Tae-pung (Lee Joon-ho), a novice boss who became the president of a trading company with no IMF, no employees, no money, or nothing to sell in 1997. However, before Kang Tae-pung was caught up in the IMF typhoon, there are friends who burned their freedom of youth together. If there was a Backstreet Boys who dominated the Billboard charts at the time, there is an Abstreet Boys who dominated Apgujeong-dong.
Kang Tae-pung, at the center of it, is in charge of the face. Every time Kang Tae-pung, who dies in fashion and lives in fashion, passes by, women's hearts are devastated. His best friend Wang Nam-mo (Kim Min-seok) is in charge of personal talent. The part where you believe that you are in charge of your appearance is a point that induces laughter. He is a real man who can't fight and seems to be playful, but he knows how to throw his whole body for friends or love. In addition, Yoon Sung (Yang Byung-yeol), Daehyup (Kim Young-jae), and Jeong Kwan (Park Sung-hyun) unite as Abstreet Boys'.
The three still cuts, which were released on the 19th, contain a variety of youth energy of 'Abstreet Boys' that dominate Apgujeong-dong. Kang Tae-pung, who is posing with heavy charisma next to Wang Nam-mo, who responds well to street interviews. In the following image, the two people, who sit side by side in the greenhouse, exchange eyes, and playfully pull their hair at a drinking party, cheerfully show the relationship between the two, who are friends and brothers. Through this, the vitality of youth and the chemistry of best friends further raise expectations for the laughter and empathy that the 「Taepung Corporation」 will provide.
The production team said that `Kang Tae-pung and Wang Nam-mo are the most vivid duo of youth freedom and friendship in 1997.' `The relationship between pleasure and loyalty will energize the play and convey a big smile and deep sympathy to viewers at the same time.'
tvN's new Saturday drama 「Taepung Corporation」, which will give warm comfort and courage to someone passing through difficult moments today through the heart-wrenching survival of ordinary people who did not stop living in their place even when the world seemed to have ended due to the crisis that hit Korea, will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on Saturday, October 11th, following the popular TVN 'Chef of the Tyrants'.
