President Shin Brings in an Investor in Undercover Miss Hong Episode 10

As Hanmin’s finances continue to weaken in Undercover Miss Hong episode 10, President Shin takes action and brings in a Hong Kong investor called DK Ventures. The firm promises to invest 300 billion won, but in return, it wants short-term bonds from Hanmin.

However, the deal comes with a dangerous condition. If Hanmin fails to repay the bonds, DK Ventures will gain major ownership and control of the company. On top of that, DK Ventures demands massive layoffs. Chairman Kang quickly agrees.

Shin convinces him that cutting workers will fix the company’s losses, but his true motive remains suspicious. Meanwhile, the company orders every division head to list 40% of their employees for termination. As a result, fear spreads across the office, and many workers face sudden unemployment.

The risk management division suffers the most and loses everyone. However, not all decisions come from the division heads, as Kang and Shin secretly choose certain people to remove. These include So Gyeong-Dong, Albert Oh, and Bang Jin-Mok.

Albert avoids termination but gets transferred to trading, while Yong-Gi moves to IT. Jin-Mok sees the writing on the wall and resigns early. At the same time, Hong Jang-Mi signs a harsh new contract that removes her job security and allows the company to fire her anytime.

Keum-bo Takes Bom to her Parents

Tension rises as Mi-Sook remains in the hospital, forcing the others to care for Bom on their own. However, with Eun-Joo already taken back home, only Keum-bo and Bok-hee stay in the dorm. One day, Bom hears someone outside and mistakes the RA for Eun-Joo.

She runs out happily and tries to show herself, hoping for praise. Although the RA feels sorry for her, she reminds them that dorm rules do not allow children. Even so, Bom sweetly promises to behave, which makes the situation more painful for everyone.

Afterward, Keum-bo and Bok-hee search for a children’s home where Bom can stay safely. Bok-hee eventually finds one, but Keum-bo cannot ignore her guilt and concern. Because of this, she makes a bold decision and promises to become Bom’s guardian.

She chooses to take Bom to her parents’ home so she can grow up in a safe and loving place. In doing so, Keum-bo accepts full responsibility and shows how deeply she cares. This moment proves that they have truly become a family, even in the middle of a crisis.

Keum-bo Finds the Slush Fund in Undercover Miss Hong Episode 10

Thanks to Bom, Keum-bo finally finds the missing evidence. One day, she comes home and sees Bom folding origami using bank balance sheets. Because of this, Keum-bo realizes the slush fund ledgers were never destroyed.

She quickly finds the notebook with the dog sticker and understands that proof still exists. At first, she decides to report everything to the Financial Supervisory Service. However, they refuse to act and blame the ongoing economic crisis. They do not want to investigate powerful companies like Hanmin during such a fragile time. As a result, Keum-bo loses faith in the system and starts thinking of another way.

Soon after, she shares a shocking plan with Bok-hee. She explains that she wants to steal the slush fund money to protect the real Hanmin—the ordinary employees. She gives Bok-hee three days to decide whether to help. At first, Bok-hee refuses because she already knows about President Shin and DK Investments’ dangerous plan.

They want Hanmin to collapse so they can take control of the company. Because the situation feels too big and scary, Bok-hee decides to leave everything behind. However, as she walks away, she drops the teddy bear her roommates gave her. This moment reminds her of their friendship, so she runs back and agrees to join the mission.

The Heist Begins 

Meanwhile, Shin waits for Hanmin’s stock price to crash, but Keum-bo plans the opposite. She wants to use the stolen money to buy company shares and save Hanmin. At the same time, she hopes to stop Kang Pil-beom and ruin Shin’s takeover plan. However, Bok-hee makes it clear that she wants something in return.

She demands 10% of the total money, which shocks Keum-bo. Even so, Keum-bo agrees because she knows she cannot succeed alone. Soon, they prepare for the heist, but problems appear immediately. When Keum-bo cannot leave work, Nora disguises herself and pretends to be Keum-bo. Although Shin notices her, he cannot question her authority.

Finally, Keum-bo begins transferring money from the secret accounts. She successfully moves funds from the first two banks. However, the third bank becomes suspicious because of the large amount. The staff contacts Song Ju-ran for confirmation.

Fortunately, Keum-bo has an authorization letter ready. At the same time, Bok-hee waits in Ju-ran’s office while Nora distracts her. But suddenly, Ju-ran stands up and walks back to her office. This moment creates a tense cliffhanger, leaving everyone wondering if Keum-bo and her friends will succeed in saving Hanmin in Undercover Miss Hong.
