43-year-old Korean goddess Jun Ji-hyun has not released a new work for several years since the K-drama “Jirisan.” Now, her highly-anticipated new series “The Whirlwind,” starring with “original male god” Kang Dong-won, will premiere on the streaming platform this September. The story follows Jun Ji-hyun as Korean diplomat 'Moon Joo' and Kang Dong-won as 'San Ho,' a mysterious agent of unknown nationality. Together, they investigate the mastermind behind an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate and uncover the truth behind incidents threatening national security.
Hollywood actor Christopher Gorham, who starred in the American series “Ugly Betty,” specially helped promote the drama for the two leads. Recently, he posted a photo with both stars on social media with the caption: “Last summer, ‘The Whirlwind’ took me to beautiful Seoul. U.S. premiere on September 9!”
In addition to previously released trailers and posters for the new series, fans were especially excited to see rare photos of Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won—who are the same age—together off-screen. The online response has been full of praise for their couple-like chemistry, with everyone eagerly awaiting the show’s debut. Even Jun Ji-hyun’s mother-in-law once posted on social media, saying this couple is her favorite on-screen pair, adding a humorous touch!
