Park Shin-hye raises the stakes as the search for the anonymous whistleblower intensifies in tvN’s weekend drama Undercover Miss Hong.
In Episode 5, airing January 31, Hong Geum-bo takes a decisive step forward in her covert mission to identify “Yebbi,” the internal informant whose identity threatens to upend the firm. What began as a disguised corporate placement now reveals its true purpose, pushing the narrative into its most volatile phase yet.
Newly released stills capture a discreet drinking gathering involving three prime suspects: department head So Kyung-dong, section chief Bang Jin-mok, and executive Cha Jung-il. Known internally as the “So-Bang-Cha” trio, the men share the table with members of the crisis management team, including Hong herself, creating a subtle but unmistakable tension beneath the surface.
Hong watches closely, her sharp gaze tracking every shift in tone and body language. As caution loosens under the influence of alcohol, seemingly casual remarks begin to sound like confessions, hinting that the truth about “Yebbi” may be closer than expected.
The balance is abruptly disrupted by an unexpected comment from Albert Oh, whose offhand remark alters the atmosphere in an instant. Why these individuals from different ranks and departments were brought together, and how a single sentence changes their expressions, adds another layer of intrigue.
The episode ends on an ominous note as Hong’s composed expression hardens. Long-buried secrets begin to surface, alliances strain, and the hunt for “Yebbi” enters a decisive new chapter.
Undercover Miss Hong airs tonight at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
