If you’ve been following tvN’s Undercover Miss Hong, you already know one thing — Park Shin Hye is flawless at keeping her emotions locked down. But Episode 5 is about to shatter that illusion in the most thrilling way possible.
“She held that poker face through the entire gathering — until one single remark from Albert Oh blew it wide open.”
Set in the late 1990s, the show follows Hong Geum Bo, an elite financial officer in her 30s who secretly goes undercover as a junior employee at a securities firm. Her mission? Track down a mysterious whistleblower known only as “Yeppi.” It’s spy-thriller energy wrapped inside a workplace comedy — and it works beautifully.

What Happens in Episode 5?
Hong Geum Bo attends a tense gathering with the three top Yeppi suspects — So Gyung Dong (Seo Hyun Chul), Bang Jin Mok (Kim Do Hyun), and Cha Jong Il (Im Chul Soo). She sits sharp-eyed, silently watching every word and every reaction as alcohol loosens their guards.
Then Albert Oh (Cho Han Gyul) — completely unaware of the awkward tension in the room — drops a remark that instantly shifts the mood. And in that single moment, Hong Geum Bo’s composure slips. Her expression hardens, hinting that she just learned something huge about one of the suspects. The question now? How does this new discovery change her entire hunt for Yeppi?
