Lee Dong Wook, Kim Hye Joon, And More Return Stronger To Take On Opposing Forces In “A Shop For Killers 2”
“A Shop for Killers” Season 2 has released new stills featuring its cast.
Based on a novel by Kang Ji Young, author of “The Killer’s Shopping List”, “A Shop for Killers” is an action drama following Jeong Ji An (Kim Hye Joon), who moves in with her uncle Jeong Jin Man (Lee Dong Wook) following the death of her parents. Jin Man runs a shopping centre, but when he suddenly dies Ji An inherits his secret and dangerous legacy and becomes the target of suspicious killers. Season 2 follows Ji An as she becomes the shopping centre’s new chief executive. She joins forces with Jin Man, who returns alive, to fight back against the global forces of Babylon.
The newly released stills spotlight the return of key figures who created numerous memorable moments in Season 1 while building anticipation through the introduction of newly joined characters alongside them.
First, Jin Man, who has returned alive, his niece Ji An, who became the owner of the shopping centre after a gruelling handover of responsibilities, and Murthehelp’s dependable allies Min Hye (Geum Hae Na) and Pasin (Kim Min) return in even stronger form. In Season 1 Ji An was often frightened by the sudden attacks of assassins; she now displays a transformed gaze as she fully steps into the world of killers.
Having reunited after crossing the threshold of death, they are set to launch a counter-attack against Babylon with an even tighter team dynamic, hinting at the spectacular action and tense developments to come.
In addition, Bale (Jo Han Sun), who relentlessly pursues Jin Man, also returns, heightening the suspense. Known as a “killing machine,” he exudes a lethal presence from the moment he appears, dominating the atmosphere. In particular, attention is focused on another showdown between Jin Man and Bale, who are bound together as both rivals and through revenge.
Babylon, Murthehelp’s powerful enemy and a global mercenary organisation, expands its influence with an East Asia branch, signalling an even larger scale.
Jung Yun Ha plays Kusunagi, the manager of Babylon’s East Asia branch. She gives off a subtle, enigmatic presence in a sharply tailored suit that contrasts with other mercenaries.
Even when facing Bale, she remains composed, exuding a distinct aura that suggests she is a new and unprecedented type of character.
In addition, Hyunri plays Q, the team leader of Babylon’s East Asia branch, while Masaki Okada joins as Jay, an ace mercenary. Their addition is expected to bring a new layer of appeal to Season 2.
“A Shop for Killers 2” is scheduled to premiere in July. Watch this space for further updates!
