“Hellbound” Season 2 tells the story of a world thrown into greater chaos due to ongoing hellbound decrees. It revolves around the suddenly resurrected New Truth Society Chairman Jung Jin-soo (played by Kim Sung-cheol) and Park Jeong-ja (Kim Sin-rok), entangling Sodo’s lawyer Min Hye-jin (Kim Hyun-joo), the New Truth Society, and the Arrowhead faction in new ways.
Kim Sung-cheol’s character, Jung Jin-soo, is the founding chairman of the New Truth Society who secretly receives a demonstration but suddenly resurrects. The actor has reportedly focused on deeply expressing the inner pain and fear of Jung Jin-soo, who has experienced hell, while also portraying his façade as a chairman who hides this fact.
Kim Sung-cheol received a flood of positive reviews after the pre-release screening of episodes 1-3 of Netflix series “Hellbound” Season 2 at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, which opened on October 2. He powerfully delivered the opening that kicks off Season 2 and vividly portrayed Jung Jin-soo with his mesmerizing rhetoric even after resurrection.
It’s reported that Kim Sung-cheol referred to the original webtoon to express Jung Jin-soo and focused a lot on his gaze to capture the energy of a man who has the world in the palm of his hand. There’s much anticipation to see if he, often called a “cheat key” for nailing every role, will surpass himself with another career-defining character.
Notably, as Kim Sung-cheol is stepping in to replace Yoo Ah-in, who left Season 2 due to a police investigation for habitual propofol use, there’s high interest in whether he can perfectly fill the void left by Yoo Ah-in.
In a recent variety content, when asked if he felt pressured to appear in a work where the previous season was hugely successful, Kim Sung-cheol replied, “To be honest, I don’t feel much pressure,” expressing his determination to create more synergy by joining a project that the director and writer have long prepared.
The Netflix series “Hellbound” Season 2, starring Kim Sung-cheol, will be released on Netflix on Friday, October 25.
