Previously, Kim Mi-sook (Kang Chae-young), who had been pushed to the brink by the IMF crisis, made an extreme decision that shook Room 301 to its core. The revelation that Kang Nora (Choi Ji-soo) is the only daughter of Hanmin Securities Chairman Kang Pil-beom (Lee Deok-hwa) pushed tensions to their peak. Trust collapsed, and cooperation became calculated. Hong Geum-bo and Go Bok-hee formed an uneasy alliance with Kang Nora, joining forces for the mission while remaining cautious.

New stills suggest a shift in atmosphere. The setting is Hong Geum-bo’s family chicken shop. Her mother Kim Soon-jung (Lee Soo-mi) and father Hong Chun-seop (Kim Young-woong) welcome guests with bright smiles, and Kang Nora sits at the same table. The three, who once exchanged sharp and hostile looks, now share a meal together. Hong Geum-bo and Go Bok-hee also appear more relaxed, their expressions softened by rare smiles.

However, the warmth may be short-lived. The unexpected arrival of Albert Oh (Jo Han-gyeol) changes the air once again. Usually playful and relaxed, he now faces Hong Geum-bo with an unusually serious expression. His altered gaze and subdued tone suggest something deeper. Their conversation signals another impending shift.

Albert Oh’s change in attitude may extend beyond personal emotion. Hong Geum-bo’s operation, Hanmin Securities’ slush fund, and the fractures within Room 301 all converge, foreshadowing an unpredictable development. Questions grow over what truths lie behind the smiles at the table.

Relationships waver, and trust faces its greatest test. Yet the true strength of this drama lies in the solidarity that emerges from fracture. The emotional tension between cold distance and fragile warmth, combined with shifting alliances and subtle character changes, will shape Episode 11.

Undercover Miss Hong Episode 11 airs February 21 at 9:10 PM.
