"Taepoong Trading Company" is a story about the struggles and growth of Kang Taepoong (JUNHO), a rookie trading company employee who becomes the president of a trading company with no employees, no money, and nothing to sell during the 1997 IMF currency crisis.
The series is attracting much attention from TV series fans as it stars JUNHO, who has received rave reviews for his roles in "Red Sleeves" and "King the Land," in the title role.
Among them, Kim Jae Hwa and Lee Sang Jin, who played outstanding supporting roles in the film, spoke about Kang Tae Poong in the drama.
First, Lee Sang Jin laughed when he called Kang Tae Poong "Chandol (a person with a strong will)."
He continued, "Lee Junho is mysterious. He suits the bad boy style well and his acting makes you feel like he's the CEO, so it was easy to get immersed in the role."
In particular, Lee Sang Jin said, "His attitude is the same, and his synchronization is 100%." He added, "JUNHO hyung is a playful kid on set. He jokes around a lot, but when it comes to filming, he's really
He showed us a solid image. I often think that people can be so smart," Kim Jae Hwa responded, "(JUNHO) is the leader of our team.
He pays close attention to the condition of each and every actor. He is our boss," he said in praise.
"Taepung Trading" is set in the late 1990s and depicts the fashion and pop music of the time.
The film is gaining attention as a work that stimulates cultural nostalgia. Lee Sang Jin said, "We also paid a lot of attention to the costumes. The hairstyle is also a bit off-putting now, as the right side is hard to see.
"I was careful even though it meant sacrificing my visibility," Kim Jae Hwa joked. "The costume team of the production team personally designed the costumes for me.
He emphasized, "It's a very important costume for me." In response, the production team said, "The character Kang Tae Poong has the vibe of a CEO's son.
He added, "Junho himself said that he spent a lot of money on it." Kim Jae Hwa and Lee Sang Jin were left speechless when they heard the specific amount.
Kim Jae Hwa was surprised and said, "That's amazing," while Lee Sang Jin panicked, saying, "How should I react to this?"
The two agreed, "This is proof that they focused so seriously on the characters and put in so much preparation," and then emphasized, "It's really cool," raising expectations.
The TV series "Taepung Trading Company," starring JUNHO, will premiere in Korea on Saturday, the 11th, at 9:10 PM. In Japan, it will be streamed on Netflix.
