Geum Sae Rok Considers Lead Role in Typhoon Company

Geum Sae Rok, who recently returned to television with her performance in Iron Family, is reportedly in discussions to take on the lead female role in the drama Typhoon Company. According to BH Entertainment, her management agency, “She has received an offer to star in Typhoon Company and is currently positively reviewing it.”

The role Geum Sae Rok is considering is that of Oh Mi Sook, a resilient salesperson at a mid-sized company.

The storyline of Typhoon Company revolves around a mid-sized family-owned business on the brink of bankruptcy. Against the backdrop of the economic turmoil of 1997, it promises a gripping mix of corporate drama and human resilience. The production is reportedly aiming for a 2025 premiere on tvN, which has consistently delivered acclaimed dramas.
