'Secret Audit' sees Shin Hye-sun and Gong Myung becoming increasingly entangled.

'Secret Audit' (script by Yeo Eun-ho, directed by Lee Soo-hyun), which aired on tvN on the 26th, featured the full-scale cooperation between Joo Jin-a (played by Shin Hye-sun) and Noh Ki-jun (played by Gong Myung) in its second episode. Noh Ki-jun, who missed his chance to escape the audit room, and the shocking tip-off that targeted Joo Jin-a, created a relentless pace filled with humor, leaving viewers eager to see what unfolds next.

'Secret Audit' Episode 2 recorded an average viewership of 6.7% with a peak of 7.7% among Seoul metropolitan area households, and an average of 6.3% with a peak of 7.1% among nationwide households, showing an upward trend. In the 2049 male and female target demographic for tvN, it ranked first in the same time slot across both cable and general entertainment channels in both the Seoul metropolitan area and nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea's pay platform data.

'Secret Audit' began with the aftermath of Noh Ki-jun, who earned the unfortunate nickname 'Haemu Faint,' suffering from his life's greatest humiliation. His second assignment was the anonymous community case 'Company.com F Zone Complaint.' Upon learning of an internal scandal occurring in the F Zone of the Haemu Group's underground parking lot, Audit Team 3 launched an investigation into 'Humin' to uncover the truth behind the rumors.

'Secret Audit' also saw Noh Ki-jun face unexpected variables in his daily life. Park Ah-jeong (played by Hong Hwa-yeon), who suddenly found herself with nowhere to stay due to an emergency, sought out her ex-lover Noh Ki-jun, leading to an unplanned cohabitation. Park Ah-jeong's words triggered a memory for Noh Ki-jun. Recalling the possibility that Joo Jin-a had witnessed his secret moment in the emergency stairwell, he began to pay attention to her. Noh Ki-jun, who had been watching Joo Jin-a, had a dizzying encounter with her in the emergency stairwell. Joo Jin-a, who seemed to already know about Noh Ki-jun's situation, approached him and delivered the meaningful line, "You're doing this kind of thing again?" This remark turned his suspicion into certainty, sending Noh Ki-jun into a state of mental collapse.

'Secret Audit' also saw Noh Ki-jun's plan to escape the audit room face difficulties. During a stakeout in the F Zone parking lot with Joo Jin-a, he encountered a shocking scene he could never have imagined. The person he met in a suspicious vehicle was none other than Kim Jeon-mu (played by Kim Jong-tae), Noh Ki-jun's only hope. Unlike Joo Jin-a, who welcomed him with excitement, calling it a 'big catch,' Noh Ki-jun was shocked as even his last lifeline to escape the audit room was cut. Moreover, the circumstances of Kim Jeon-mu's corruption only deepened his despair.

'Secret Audit' also captured a suspicious move. Noh Ki-jun's handover documents were being watched meaningfully, hinting at intentions beyond a simple personnel transfer and raising curiosity. Additionally, the tip-off email targeting Joo Jin-a, which arrived at the moment Noh Ki-jun decided to resign, foreshadowed unpredictable developments.

'Secret Audit' also revealed the precarious position of Haemu Group's Executive Vice President Jeon Jae-yeol (played by Kim Jae-wook), who appeared perfect. The silent pressure of not being recognized by his father and the news of his half-brother Jeon Seong-yeol returning to headquarters suggested his unstable standing. The strange atmosphere between Jeon Jae-yeol and Park Ah-jeong also left viewers curious about future developments.

'Secret Audit' also featured Pyo Ye-jin and Shin Hyun-soo, who played the young married couple, Deputy Lee So-young and Deputy Kwon Hyun-woo, realistically portraying the subtle temperature differences in their relationship while maintaining distance within the company, leaving a strong impression. Kim Jong-tae, who appeared as Kim Jeon-mu, also added strength through a special appearance. As a key variable entangled with Gong Myung, he heightened the tension amidst unpredictable developments, further enhancing the drama's immersion.

'Secret Audit' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
