These are the words of screenwriter Jang Hyun. "Daepoong Trading Company" tells the story of a young man who rebuilds a trading company that was on the verge of collapse due to the 1997 IMF currency crisis.
In this film, JUNHO plays Kang Tae-poong, who grows from a foolish orange tribe to a reliable businessman. Regarding JUNHO's casting, Jang said, "The first day we met, I said to him, 'I'm the Nation's Leader.'
"I said it jokingly, 'He has to be the nation's son, the nation's boyfriend, and the nation's president,' but Junho has done it all," she said.
Jang continued, "Kang Tae-poong is actually a difficult character to portray," and added, "He's a flower-loving Apgujeong.
He is a playboy from Apgujeong, a filial son, a kind man, and a handsome man. He has to be cute and tough at the same time, and when I was writing the script I wondered if it was possible, but the difficulty

"I told the director, 'It's a great honor to have an actor like Mi Sun who can act with her whole body and cry with her whole body,'" he said, adding that Junho and Kim Min
This raised expectations for Ha's performance. Finally, Chang also mentioned the message he wanted to convey through this work.
Chang said, "Sometimes, just enduring is enough to survive.
"There are times when I feel that way. That must have been the case during the IMF currency crisis," he said, expressing his gratitude to the people who endured that time and "created the Republic of Korea as we know it today."
He also said, "Although 'Daepoong Trading' is a TV series set during the IMF currency crisis, it is not a TV series that talks about despair and sadness."
Just as the prince finds a little romance even in tragic moments, I hope that 'Daepoong Business' will be a small respite for viewers at the end of a tiring day."
"Taepung Business" will begin airing in Korea on the 11th as the successor to "Tyrant Chef."
